Notes
According to James Leonardo, this cover originally had a horizontal pair of 5c stamps but only a small portion of the right stamp remains on cover, showing sheet margin at right. The letter was written by Martin L Fisher.
Thomas Alexander told James Leonardo that the cover is owned by the American Antiquarian Society
Alexander listed as 7/11/50

The dating of this cover appears incorrect. Alexander’s notes date the cover as both 7/11/50 and 7/14/50. It certainly looks like 14 to me. The listing date came from the dateline of the letter and certainly could have been mailed three days later.
