The amazing waterlogged letter, which actually arrived!

The amazing waterlogged letter, which actually arrived

I was so very surprised when I pulled this out of my mailbox - amazed that it actually arrived! The water damaged must have happened to this one en route, not caused by me. You can make out the address if you look reeeeeeeally closely at it. I wonder if this ink had some kind of a waterproof component to it?

wet letter

The rubber stamp on the back of the envelope didn't fare so well, either...

wet letter, inside

... and the letter was all blurred into itself on the wet side.

But it arrived!

Why you shouldn't drop letters into the cat's water dish

Why you shouldn't drop letters into the cat's water dish

Of course this was an accident. I was coming in with the mail, and this little envelope was on top. My hands were full, it slipped out of my grasp, and I was standing right by the water dish. Argh. I snatched it up and immediately opened it, and fortunately because of the thick paper, the wet was only on the envelope, and the letter inside was fine. You can sure tell which of the inks had a mix of waterproof elements, though! I smudged out the sender's name and address, but it was quite legible.
