When I saw this, I couldn’t pass it up. With it dated 2 days following the House and the Senate finding Reagan to be solely responsible for the Iran Contra Affair, one can only presume this thank you note pertains to a letter of support in response. #philately30 Jan 2024 16:06 +0000at://did:plc:6a446zonsdoftbhqchmxthvl/app.bsky.feed.post/3kk7jslqp5v2bhttps://bsky.app/profile/appledude78.bsky.social/post/3kk54s5hljt2rWhen you’re looking for a US 213 on cover and find a lot of 4 for the price of one, it’s an instant buy.
