Just got the mail from my PO box and the letter that had a Isle of Man mini sheet on FDC in it was damp and the cover inside is a little damp and wrinkled...

Whats the best plan of attack to get it dry and flat again??

Iron? Press it flat and let it dry pressed???

Really lucky in the same post was a 1753 Italian letter that had plastic around it.... just goes to show the importance of putting a plastic layer around collecatbles when we send them!
