I've come across this cover for my collection, and I need others opinion on it. It's postmarked 1869 Bremen, Germany. Looking through the Scott catalogue I believe its listed under the North German Confederation, scott #4. If anyone agrees/disagrees please share... Thanks

What a nice letter!!! Those were the days!!when you could write an address by giving only the name and town!!
The North German Confederation had almost 30 million people and Eisenach was a long way from Bremen.
Possibly it is an invitation of some sort? I always enjoy seeing that old script, even though I can hardly make sense of it.
I'm guessing the recipient was Eduard Kallensee, a store owner.

Info from googling "Kallensee Eisenach":
