It's in the air mail!

(re-post)

I can remember both sending and receiving air mail letters similar to these and that was many many years ago, back in the Sixties.

  So when I came across a  bunch at a sale I trotted along to the post office and learned that I could indeed still send them - in Canada there is more than enough postage for them to go - by air, of course! - and I could even add a page or two inside. 

To the US or abroad I would have to add extra stamps.

Next I googled to see when these would have been issued and came up with 1985 - but that was with 68 cents postage.  Hmmm?

In any case it is going to be fun sending them to people.
