United States of America - Rhode Island

In my World envelope collection I do not just want to have envelopes from stamp-issuing countries and territories, but also from other regions. This includes the 50 states of the United States of America. This envelope comes from the state of Rhode Island, the smallest of the 50 states, lying in the New England region of the United States. It was the 13th state, admitted in 1790.

The stamps were affixed by me and come from the Flags of our nation, State birds and Greetings series and the stamp commemorating the 200th anniversary of statehood. I sent the envelope to the post office in the capital Providence to be postmarked. It arrived back in just under three weeks with perfect datestamps. It was one of the best envelopes from the United States I received until then.
