a letter that was never delivered. ... this and other similarly locked letters found in a 17th-century trunk in The Hague,So even 600 years ago, lazy postmen were dumping mail rather than delivering it? I thought that was a more recent innovation.

Was it counted as a vote for Biden/Harris?

The scientists digitally opened four letters using this groundbreaking method, deciphering the contents of one letter, DB-1627. Penned on July 31, 1697, it was written by a man named Jacques Sennacques to his cousin Pierre Le Pers, who lived in The Hague. Sennacques, a legal professional in Lille, France, requested an official death certificate for a relative named Daniel Le Pers, "perhaps due to a question of inheritance," the scientists wrote.
"His request issued, Sennacques then spends the rest of the letter asking for news of the family and commending his cousin to the graces of God," the authors wrote. "We do not know exactly why Le Pers did not receive Sennacques' letter, but given the itinerancy of merchants, it is likely that Le Pers had moved on." Tens of thousands of such sealed documents can now be unfolded and read virtually, the researchers reported.

How dare they print such an article without telling us what the letter says.

It’s a vote for Biden. No signature or return address though.

Here’s proof that the Feds can read your snail mail without steaming it open.
To: BenLurkin
Come to think of it now, they Dems can tell which mail-in ballots need to be discarded without opening them.
