Finally

The AP has an article about a postcard ever-so-slightly delayed in the mail:

A postcard mailed nearly seventy years ago has finally arrived at the Elmira, New York home of the couple who sent it.
The postcard was sent 4 July 1943, from Rockford, Illinois to sisters Pauline and Theresa Leisenring. Their brother, George Leisenring, was stationed at Rockford's Medical Center Barracks at Camp Grant, an Army post during World War Two. Their parents were visiting him when they mailed the postcard home. The postcard reads, in part: "Dear Pauline and Theresa, We arrived safe, had a good trip, but we were good and tired."
Elmira's Star-Gazette reports that the postcard arrived last week at the family's former home, where a different family now lives.
A postal official says the postcard may have been found by someone outside the postal service and placed in the mail.

Rico says the postal creed says 'dark of night', not 'quick'...
