I was wrong about the letter



A while back I wrote a post about this mysterious letter, addressed to Henry:

I pointed out that the date on the office stamp, as well as the date that the red plane stamp was printed, both point to the letter having been sent in the 40s - judging by the shape of the digits, either in 1946, 1948, or 1949.



However, I previously assumed that California was Henry’s address. I didn’t question the “Joey Drew Studios” under Henry’s name.

I was wrong.

I did some research and here’s what I found:



The office stamp is always placed in the city the letter is sent from. And the “Joey Drew Studios” is in the place you write the address of the recipient, right under his name.

Someone sent a letter from California to Henry, in the 1940s, expecting him to be working at Joey Drew Studios at the time.

Why would someone think Henry’s at the studio in the late 40s? Did he return for a brief visit and forgot all about it? Did he return and die at the studio right there and then, and his memories of coming back home are a lie? Or could this be that someone corresponded with somebody in California, while pretending to be Henry?



So many questions…
