I found this little air letter sheet from India a few months ago in a listing from someone in Ontario, Canada. At first glance it is nothing special. It is addressed to a Mrs. Donald Teague in Carmel, Ca. dated 1967. In the letter the writer notes that Mr. Teague had the opportunity to shake hands with Gandhi. (killed in 1948)
That is an exciting find! It pays to read the addresses and the postmarks on covers carefully. I am always on the lookout for my grandparent's and great-grandparent's last names on old covers and post cards, especially to or from Ohio where they had farms. The old cover or post card might be from some correspondence of a "lost" relative and I could find out something about them.
