Entered mails AUG.  8 from the U.S. District Attorney’s Office (see preprinted corner card) to Mr. George A. Johnson. 

When not retrieved by Mr. Johnson, the cover was advertised in a local Providence newspaper. After a month, the cover was retrieved by addressee (or agent).  

The Providence clerk struck a double-circle Providence R.I. SEP 17-dated CDS (with single bar) on the reverse, and crossed out the “Not Called For” in black pencil (the policy at the Prov. P.O. at that time). No contents.
