AI Notes
A pale stained envelope, typed-addressed, with a printed church return address at the upper left and a circular postmark at the upper right. The right edge of the envelope is torn or worn away. No postage stamp is visible (cancellation only). A faint pencilled annotation along the right edge — possibly show-through from the verso of the envelope rather than a marking on the visible side — reads as ‘OME 1939’ or similar; it does not resolve clearly at any examined contrast, and does not affect the meaning of the envelope itself.
A faint pencilled note at the right edge appears to read “HOME 1939” but is obscured by water staining and the torn edge.
