Description
Striking WWII-era patriotic cover featuring the powerful “A CARELESS WORD … ANOTHER CROSS” cachet-an iconic home-front warning against careless talk. The cachet bears a small “GL” monogram at right. Franked with the 3¢ Corregidor commemorative (Scott 925) and postmarked Jamestown, Rhode Island, Oct 2, 1944, this is a genuine wartime use rather than a philatelic first day.
