AI Notes

A pale envelope franked with a 3-cent purple Thomas Jefferson stamp and a Jacksonville, Fla. postmark dated DEC 14 9 PM 1950. Addressed in blue fountain-pen ink in a casual cursive hand. Above the address, in the same hand, a return reference reading ‘Church of the Good Shepherd / Park, Stockton, and Forbes / Jacksonville, 4, Fla.’ — the parish in which James Pickens Walker Jr. was married in 1941 and was confirmed in November 1950 (just 3 weeks before this envelope was postmarked — see book-003/p020). No marginalia at full resolution beyond what’s transcribed.
