Quote:Nice Registered Mail cover. I just looked up the Convent and although they have since moved, the building still stands today (here's a picture):  Now owned by the American Cancer Society as their "Hope Lodge" they offer this historical perspective: Quote:
The American Cancer Society has renovated a 50,000 square foot, four story, historic building in Cincinnati to serve as the organization's 21st Hope Lodge. Our beautiful structure sits majestically atop what was formerly known as 'Pill Hill' because of the numerous hospitals and physicians that resided nearby. Originally built as a doctor's mansion in 1880, it was purchased in 1900 by the Ursuline nuns and then expanded in the 1930's to be used as the Ursuline Academy, a Catholic high school for girls. From 1971 until 2004, the building housed various medical offices for area hospitals. After extensive renovation, Hope Lodge officially opened on October 15, 2004. The American Cancer Society has been honored by the city of Cincinnati and the state of Ohio with two historic preservation awards. |

In Cochin State, in India, they could make a fair mess of a cover, or postcard as in this case:  And though not strictly according to the letter, I think this cover from Bhopal - the back particularly - falls within the spirit of the subject:   (The stamp under that unsightly obliteration is actually a rather scarce one: SG 48, the 1884 ¼ Anna with curved lines in the corners.) |

Just to prove that Cochin cover was no mere flash in the pan, here's another try, from Travancore-Cochin. The back, with the stamps, is so-so  but half the population had a go at the address side:  |
