Last week, the U.S. Postal Service delivered a hand-written letter to its address in central California. The letter was postmarked in Montgomery, Ala.
The date on the postmark is Aug. 9, 1944. Yes, 1944.
It's good for a laugh — the term "snail mail" takes on a whole new meaning — but the hope is there's a touching side to this story, and that its intended recipient, or her relatives, may still be found.
The letter is addressed thusly:
"Miss R.T. Fletcher, American Red Cross Station Hospital, Camp Roberts, California."
