In July, 1942, I wrote a letter to my cousin in Rochester, Minn. The other day she sent it back to me. She had just received it on Nov. 27, 1984. It was mailed to her with 17 cents due. The letter had been addressed plainly and correctly, bore a 3-cent Victory stamp, had not been opened and looked and was as good as new.

Where was it for 42 years?
