Looks to be an invoice for something weighing 6.6 LBS.

Veuillez payer contre cette lettre de change sans frais = Please pay against this letter of exchange free of charge. Or something along those lines.

Quinze juin prochain = Next June 15th.

The Société des Thés de l'Eléphant was a large tea merchant in Marseilles, so my guess is that it's an invoice for the purchase of tea.

L.D. brand. 3 units with a gross weight of 3.9? kilos. Shipped parcel post. Payment due 15 June.

Hi Sandeep,

L'elephant is a tea brand founded in 1895 or so. "Colis postal" is a parcel, delivered to a Mr. Lefrand in Avignon, weight is 3 kg 900 g, amount to be paid is 2811 francs. Almost 4 kg, that's a lot of tea!

Klaus

Edit: "Facture" is bill.
