United States of America - New Hampshire

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 New Hampshire, lying in the New England region of the United States. It was the 9th state, admitted in 1788.

The stamps were affixed by me and come from the Flags of our nations and Greetings series and a stamp commemorating the 200th anniversary of statehood. I had to add the state bird stamp to make up the tariff for an international letter. I sent the envelope to the post office in the capital Concord to be postmarked. It arrived back in only two weeks with clear and perfect postmarks. A perfect example of a good service by the local post office.

Date sent: 22 May 2017
Date postmark: 1 June 2017
Date received: 6 June 2017
Number of days: 15
Envelope in collection: 143
