Title created by Dickinson Museum Center.
Three envelopes. The largest, glassine envelope, has the name of the event (First Airmail), and some letters R-C. The first of the smaller envelopes has an invoice number of #F464646. The other of the small envelope gives a date (2/7/1988), a title (Air Mail), and some information for a set of prints (three 8x10 borderless prints, two of which need to be mounted on lightweight boards.). All 3 envelopes have the Roman numeral one written on them.
