Letterman General Hospital, San Francisco
A somewhat odd unused card from the 1970s, not because of the photo but because the message section on reverse is completely preprinted with two different descriptions of this military facility. The card was distributed by chaplains of the hospital. We wonder how we got it. Grade: 1

Cartoonist Lat, hospitals (Malaysia)

Two of these cards are available. One was mailed in 1991 and has Kedah stamp with mostly legible postmark. It also has a noticeable crease diagonally through lower right corner (Grade: 3, $2). The other was also mailed in 1991 with a Perak stamp and not-quite-legible postmark (Grade: 2, $2). These cards were issued by the New Straits Times, among others, and meant to be cut from a sheet, so they have irregular edges.
