“We are now in the U.N. bldg. — extremely modern throughout. Received your telegram on train and think all will be O.K. Haven’t gotten ticket yet but we’ll see about it pretty soon. Our temporary headquarters here in N.Y. are with Betsy’s uncle. Will write next from P.R. Love to all, Alan,” read the letter.

The vintage postcard was returned to its sender, Alan Ball, 88, on Wednesday morning, Sept. 10, at his home and hand-delivered by a local mail carrier who was eager to assist in the reuniting of Ball and his lost mail.
