Here are a pair of Texas local post covers, both cancelled in November of 1969. One was postmarked in Fort Worth, the other in nearby Arlington, three days later. Perhaps this was the route of the "Texas Letter Express." Can anyone provide more info?





Addendum: I just noticed "Arl. & G.P." on the local postmark, so that one was likely carried between Arlington and Grand Prairie.

I have been collecting (hoarding) in this area for about 40 years now. I had never seen the cover with H. Herst before. I would rank this a gem. I attended Kelvyn Park H.S. in Chicago in the sixties and got my start in collecting about that time. Keep up this topic.
