Brazilian Covers

[darkormex]

I came across an interesting in cover in a group of them I received when I bought a Brazil collection several years ago. The cancel on the front is illegible..just the hint of what may be a 5 for the year date but there is a back, receiving stamp of July 29, 1954. The cover was sent from the Associated Press office in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil to Mr. C.H. Schooley, Assistant to the Secretary of Defense, Office of Public Information, The Pentagon, Washington, D.C.

As it turns out, Mr. C. Herschel Schooley is someone relatively famous as noted here in this Wikipedia article.

Here is the reverse with the receiving mark at the Pentagon.

Another Brazilian cover to yet another government official, this time Canada, is the one below. It is a registered cover from Sao Paolo, Brazil to Mr. E.S. Spencer, Minister of Public Works, Provincial Government, Newfoundland, Canada. I noted that a highway in Newfoundland was recently completed in 2013-2014 which bears his name.

I thought the meter stamp was a neat design.
