For safety reasons, contractors gutting a 1904 U.S. Army barracks for an
adaptive reuse project (U.S. Army, Fort Rosecrans) worked without monitors
present. They were instructed to bring out any historical artifacts found during
construction. When a bundle of 1905-vintage letters were brought out, not a
single one of the envelopes had the stamps present. I found one loose stamp on
the second floor staircase, so they did not get all the loot. We should have
worn gas masks and watched their every step.
