Albany, The Plaza, Old Post Office and State Capitol (New York)

This card was mailed in 1960, with 3-cent stamp and full Albany postmark.  But there’s a twist:  the writer forgot to put any address, so the Post Office placed their large purple “Returned to Writer” chop in that space, and returned it … but to whom?  The writer didn’t put her own address.  Was Albany so small in 1960 that the Post Office knew who “Peggy” was?  We’ll never know.  Grade: 2
