| EDITION 571 - 06/03/2025 |
| This Saturday will be the monthly board meeting at the library. |
| The Maplewood Stamp Club will be meeting at a different location this month. It will meet at The Roseville Baptist Church, 211 County Road B2 West, Roseville, MN 55113. They will return to their regular meeting location in July. |
| I hope to post what the program at the library for this month is soon. |
| This postcard was sent without postage on March 28, 1904, originating from Washington D.C., and held until the postage was paid. At that time a stamp was added on, and it was sent to its destination in Portland Maine where it was received on April 7th. It collected some interesting auxiliary markings along the way. The one in red reads "This letter was mailed without postage but now forwarded on receipt of the stamp." I am curious as to whether the recipient actually was contacted and had to mail a stamp as there is not a return address to contact the sender. I think the more likely scenario was that the postcard was sent and the recipient paid the penny upon arrival. The verbiage "forwarded on receipt of the stamp" is what makes me question this. Whatever happened it seems like a whole lot of work for a penny and for all we know it originally had a stamp that fell off. |
