A Letter Arrives 66 Years Late

Letter-to-Fletcher

The U.S. Postal System , established on Jul 26, 1775, doesn’t have a clue why the letter to Miss R.T. Fletcher was lost for so long. The postmark on this long lost WWII-era letter is Aug. 9, 1944.

But since the hospital is no longer there, having been torn down, it was instead delivered to Camp Roberts Historical Museum.
