Scope and content
Neither rain, nor sleet, nor snow can stop the delivery of those Christmas cards, but a poorly written address can. Bremerton mail carrier R.O. Rouen was photographed puzzling over a carelessly addressed envelope in December of 1935. According to the Bremerton Sun, in 1934 2,000 letters and packages were sent to the dead letter office, unable to be delivered due to unintelligible addresses. For Bremerton Sun. (Bremerton Sun 12/20/1935, pg. 1)
