I was surprised at the paucity of postmarks, given that PMG Louis DeJoy [right] was a major donor to President Trump’s first presidential campaign and was picked by the Postal Service’s Board of Governors, all of whom were appointed by Trump. But the Washington Post reports that not only are they no longer friendly, but the Trump team is looking to oust DeJoy. A key reason, WaPo says, was the postal agency’s support of voting-by-mail in the 2020 election. [You made need a subscription to read the full story.] —LdeV

    • Send your cards and covers to the address shown.There is no charge for quantities of less than 50 but the “covers” must have sufficient postage to meet the first-class rate (73¢, or a Forever stamp).

        • Yes. In fact, that’s the way I think most people will do it. Just make sure both the outer envelope and each envelope for servicing have enough postage on them.

    • Why are the Inauguration Day postmarks not available by covers sent to Washington DC as previously done in other years? I have already sent some covers for processing to the Massachusetts Avenue address.
