Both army uinits belonged to the 20th Mekhanized Corps of the Red Army. The sender was in the 210 Motorized division with headquarter, 2 regiments and
several smaller subdivisions in OSIPOVICHI, while addressee was in the 38th Tank Division, with headquarters and all units in NOVO-BORISOV of MINSK
region of BELORUSSIA.

I used several sources, all of them in Russian language. A s for many years I collect information related to the Russian Great Patriotc war 1941-1945
I got some time ago a print out list of all soviet unit in the Special Western military district that was in Belorussia. It took me some time to check
there army units situated in NOVO-BORISOV and OSIPOVICHI.
Actually I am working over a special book covering the Red Army mail during the war. The book will have complete list of about 4,000 field post
offices that functioned in june 1941 - may 1943 as well as detailed description of the military mail system.
Sincerely,
Anatoly
