[i]Dear Mr. Boerger Enclosed are the postmarks you requested. The type for the cancelling machine hasn't arrived so just the hand cancels are being used at this time. The covers got here in good time. I believe Mr. Tucker talked to you about 8:30 A.M. on Wednesday. The covers got here at 8:00 A.M. Thursday. Some of them were mailed out to collectors. Others were given out by Mrs. Holmes and I (the only 2 clerks at the post office). You can see by the enclosed clipping who got the credit. I am very aggravated to say the least. It only makes me dislike the man more. And I didn't think that was possible. I still can't understand why the department didn't keep Mr. Moeller. He was sure a good postmaster and so easy to work with. I believe you met Mr. Moeller when you were down here. You asked how long we had been Port Canaveral. Just since Jan. 1, 1954. Before then it was Artesia and had been for a good many years. It was changed to Port Canaveral because most of the people who had to give up their homes on the Cape had moved into the Artesia community and as we had a port being deep or pumped out at the time it just natually came to be Port Canaveral. But now we have a great number of new people who greatly outnumber the few oldtimers left and most of the newcomers work at the Cape and they want the whole world to know it. So off with the old and on with the new. But I can't say I like it. Please Mr. Boerger will you apply your stamps and gummed address labels to cover before sending them. Now that Shirlene is back in school she just doesn't have the time. She is the S. Tucker. Sincerely Ellen L. Tucker[/i]
