This letter was enclosed in a 5.[5]” x 3” white envelope with cancelled three cent stamp in the upper right hand corner of the envelope; postmarked Jan 19 ‘64, BALTIMORE, MD. The postmark runs off the top of the envelope and not all the characters are complete. The postmark is 1 3/16” in diameter.

Seven pin-holes in an oval pattern, six defining the oval with one in the center, were punched, from the front, through the envelope three-quarters inch from the bottom and one and one-eighth inch from the left edge. The pin-holes must have been done at a time when the letter was not in the envelope: the letter contains no pin-holes. Three pages with a note on the fourth page. One 8” x 10” sheet folded to form four 5” x 8” pages. Written in black ink on blue lined stationery paper, page four appears to have been unlined.
