A sign/abbreviation for "magister"

[rein via Unicode]

Janusz,

reminds me of the "numero sign "   №

I tried to read the letter but couldn't manage to all the way ;)

Droga i Kochana Wiriańko

załaczam Ci z tą fotografiją list Staszki - odpisałem już jej też.
co u Was więcej słychać
żadnych jeszcze ni mam odpowiedzi ze znanych Ci miejscowoci
?adresować? do Staszki jak tyś chciała pisać (W.Pan Mr Michał Gałkiewicz  
Feldspital 411 Feldpost 380.) Mr znaczy Magister. On przy tem szpitalu  
aptekarzem.
całuję Cię ze wargatkiem Mami rączki
Twój Kochający Włodek
