The label on the left is called a 'Bag
Label' and comes from the Peterborough to Crewe TPO.The
'T' shows the total number of bags collected as well as
the number of extras, 'E'. The collection point was at
Loughborough station. The 'VIA DERBY' states that the
bags are to be transferred at Derby for the '1st
Division'
The label would be attached to the final of the five
bags, which would have contained registered mail, any
express mail, signature mail and a bill (one will be
published here soon) which listed the detail of the
contents. The box at the top right gives the date and
time of collection, these being 4th October at 7.20pm
