January 1, 1970

Many handwritten letters at this time were written on writing paper which was originally folded (like a booklet). Here the letter has been flattened and photographed on both sides. So you need to read the right hand side of the first image first (this would have been the front page of the letter) and then read the left hand side of the second image (which would have been inside the folded sheet), followed by the opposite side (in the second image). Then go back to the left hand side of the first image (which, when the letter was folded, would have been at the back)!
