POSTAGE STAMP ENVELOPES

  Nick Graver writes: "I enjoyed the latest E-Sylum, as always.
  I almost began to mention which articles interested me most,
  and quickly realized what a job that would be.  So many were
  very interesting.

  I cannot believe I am only now reading about the "Postage
  Stamp Envelopes" after all these years in the field.  Amazing!
  Half a  century of collecting, and still such exciting things to
  read about.  E-Sylum has been the most interesting part of
  numismatics for the last several years."

  [I have three postage stamp envelopes, and took them out of
  the safe deposit box this week to show at local club meetings.
  I bought them several years ago to go with my collection of
  encased postage stamps.  I first learned of them in a visit to
  the ANA Library in 1980.  I looked up Civil War in their
  catalog, and found a 1920's article by H. Russell Drowne
  in the AJN.  Very little has been published on them since
  then, although they are cataloged now, in the Krause/Lemke
  U.S. paper money book, I believe.  -Editor]
