The cds is quite faint and barely readable. The lower portion of the date appears to be three characters (JUL), given the month is below the date (example - Jan 17 from stampless cover on EBAY).
The date appears to be 13, with the outer edge of the two loops of the open 3 barely visible about a 1/2 inch to the left of the right side.
