Last December, I wrote about a blog that displays postal covers from around the world. The blog's author, Daniel Mathieu, solicits postal covers from like-minded people: those with beautiful stamps and interesting postmarks receive extra thanks. So back in December, I sent an envelope with the newly issued USPS Revolutionary War stamps. Then a couple weeks ago during National Letter Writing Month, I sent another cover with brand new stamps depicting famous individuals of the Revolutionary War. President George Washington was an obvious choice to use, in combination with the Marquis de Lafayette, a nod towards the important contributions of France in obtaining American freedom. This time, in addition to a letter using my best Duolingo French, I included some photo postcards of my hometown, Birmingham, Alabama. Daniel shows these in his post, along with some links to additional info for those who might wish to know more about Washington, Lafayette, the Boston Tea Party, Birmingham, or our Vulcan Statue. Write on!
