A fairly straightforward registered wartime cove from Britain to Canada. Kind of neat Field Post Office markings and I do find it off that there are no censor markings of any kind on the envelope The cover is from my uncle to his parents. Probably sending home part of his pay though I thought there were severe currency restrictions at that period of time. He was in the RCAF, serving overseas by that point, and from stories my grandparents were pretty hard up for money then.  |

While only a stamp and not a cover, I had to post this as it is a stamp directly relating to the Artcraft Cachet of the previous post for the Higher Education Stamp:  Some interesting facts about his political views of his day: Quote:
Morrill was a staunch Republican. A fiscal conservative, he opposed large government surpluses and overtaxation; opposed Congressional pay raises, actually giving back his raise to the Vermont treasury; voted for a guilty verdict at the impeachment trial of a president; and championed the needs of his rural constituency.
But in other ways, Morrill was clearly a man of his own times. He opposed women's suffrage, opposed the eight-hour work day, and supported a movement to incorporate Canada into the United States.
Morrill, however, is best remembered for his efforts to provide federally supported education to the common people and to ensure that emancipated slaves would have access to the same educational opportunities as others. |

Good morning! November 14th. There's a cover from the Bank of California with 3 FDR memorial stamps dated today in 1945.  And a post card showing the Missouri home of his successor Harry Truman, posted four years later in 1949.  The front, showing the 'Summer White House'  |

Here's a US postal card you don't see too often -- from November 16, 1956:  [edit] P.S. Note in another thread it was mentioned about the recent affirmation that "In God We Trust" is the official motto of the US. Since it was only officially adopted in 1956, this postal card (along with similar designed postage stamps) were one of the first pieces to use the motto in print. |

For November 17th. Yeah, I know it's a UN stamp, but at least it's from the Geneva office and has the official UN Geneva Cachet attached (and a nice clean cancel):  |

I like your postcard for Harry Truman's home in Independance MO, a route 66 town. I have read a book titled Truman's Excellent Adventure, which is about a roadtrip he & his wife took after his presidency ended. It was very interesting, he truly was a man of the common people. |
