When Marcia finds out that the letter is supposed to be postmarked by a certain date she goes out late at night on the postmark due date and puts it in the mailbox. Now at that late hour the post office is closed and presuming that where ever the contest is being held (I forget) would be close enough to be delivered by the next day. Now a letter that is put in a mailbox at that late hour isnt going to be picked up until the next day. Now if I rememeber it right they said the letter was postmarked the day before? How is that possible if the letter was put in a mailbox was put into a mailbox that late at night be postmarked by midnight on the same day. In reality the letter would be picked up sometime the next day when the letter carrier wont be there until the next day. Now if I remember right the people said the letter just made it time being postmarked the day before. Now how is it possible for a letter be delivered the next day if it was put in the mailbox late at night the day before that wont be picked up the next day? That is what I been wondering all these years.
