This is a white envelope with black ink marks. A postmark says "New York" and "May 12 '67." There’s a handwritten meter number and a "U.S. Postage 05" stamp. The ink is uneven—some parts look smudged, others sharp. A corner is torn, and the envelope is slightly crumpled. The date on the postmark doesn’t match when this was made. The artist took real mail and turned it into art. Look up Robert Watts to see how he used everyday objects this way.
