What an awesome postcard!
ReplyDeleteHow weird! To have all the parts of a paper postcard, including a spot for the stamp, but with a notice that it can only be mailed "under cover", as in inside an envelope. Doesn't that rather defeat the purpose of a postcard???? Obviously another fine example of bureaucracy at work!
