This 1938 "Radio Cover" has a pencil written note on the front explaining that it "has been water coated due to all mail for this island being put in a container and then thrown in the ocean" . . . that's not how I understand the Pitcairn mail system works! The true story is actually rather boring as I understand it. The Radio Covers were stored in the basement of a stamp shop that was flooded.
