My Post Office Box – P.O. Box 205, Cambridge, N.Y., 12816 is a source of many treasures. Every day, I get messages from all over the country and parts of the world, written by the many people – I am surprised by how many – still take the trouble to sit down and write letters.

I check m P.O. Box every day, it is filled with love and surprises, sometimes even money. Today’s letters included one from Lisa, a self-described “cat lady” in central Ohio. She told me of her many cat dramas and also included this old post card she found, which showed a woman in a bathing suit, I think, cuddling up with with what looked like a border collie.

I don’t know what the post card shows or means, but I love it and have it in my office. It makes me smile. Thanks, Lisa. (My post office box is Jon Katz, c/lo P.O. Box 205, Cambridge, N.Y., 12816.
