A 1873 postal card found links S S Bumstead and Henry M Burt. The Senate favors a three cent Harvard anniversary stamp, but final post office decision is uncertain. Philippine stamps mark Jose Rizal’s birth with six and 36 centavos values, sold at Barr Building Washington. Return postage or stamped return envelopes advised with money orders.
