Hubert Humphrey letter. Donald Trump Email to me  [color=#333333[size=medi[
[font=Times-New Roman", "serif]August 13, 2025[/font]
 

[Dear Mr. Babcock, Thank you for taking the time to share your views regarding trade and tariffs.

For far too long, poorly negotiated trade deals have failed our Nation, our workers, and our communities.  These broken policies allowed foreign nations to flood our markets with cheap goods, hollow out our manufacturing base, weaken our ability to produce essential goods, and create dangerous supply chain vulnerabilities that threaten both our economic strength and national security.

Under my leadership, we are once again putting our Nation’s interests first.  Beginning in April, I took action to address the economic conditions reflected in large and persistent annual trade deficits that constitute an unusual and extraordinary threat to our national security and economy.  Under the International Emergency Economic Powers Act of 1977, I directed the use of responsive tariffs to strengthen America’s economic position and protect American workers.  I established a baseline 10 percent tariff on all trading partners and have imposed even higher reciprocal tariffs on countries that threaten our national security and economy by failing to sufficiently address imbalances in our trading relationship.
  
These reciprocal tariffs are restoring balance to a distorted global system and ensuring America is not being taken advantage of.  Already, companies are reshoring production, American-made goods are in demand, and our workers are finally competing on a fair playing field.  Foreign nations have returned to the negotiating table, and I am securing trade deals that prioritize fairness and reflect American interests.  These new deals are expanding markets for American producers, driving down costs for families, bringing jobs back to our communities, and empowering all citizens to succeed in a stronger, more independent economy.      

As President, I will always put America First.  Through fair and reciprocal trade and a renewed focus on American production, my Administration is improving our competitiveness across every sector of industry, reducing our trade deficit, safeguarding our economic and national security, and restoring American prosperity.  [/font][/size]

Another thing I collect Autographed Baseballs.

A dealer you can trust. He goes out of his way to help you collect your Philatelic material.

To help identify  U.S. grill types. The New Haven Cover is in nice condition I believe it is Scott 85C The Grill points down. But It would need an certificate from APS to be sure. The date is right Jan 12 1868.

The Gettysburg address

Sunday March 1947 news paper clipping about stamps

Since I have so many APO covers I thought I would start a post Covers from WW2 Korean war, Veitnam. Ill start with a WW2 remember able day. U.S. Army APO 726/ Aleution Island (June 6, 1944) D-Day. UC3, Die 2. Letter inside. video> Bing Videos

Wanted to buy Special Flight, covers From Toronto to Kingston dated Jun 4 1929 opening of Kingston Air port.

Here is an autographed cover of General George Patton

U.S. Scott C25 6 cent Air mail, Canceled by Charlottesville Virginia. ( Ken Lawrence) PF Expert, Helped me with this complicated cover. This is one of my favorite covers. The marking says RETRIEVED FROM H.M. SHIPS (not named) above RETRIEVED FROM MAIL ????? and RETURN TO SENDER markings.

"Via Clipper" was the sender's endorsement, posted at Charlottesville, Virginia, for trans-Atlantic air mail. During the 1942 deployments to Britain, the glut of mail to U.S. and Canadian servicemen exceeded the capacity of the Clippers. Many tons of letters prepaid at the concessionary 6¢ per half ounce air mail rate (not valid to Canadians), and all except government letters that weighed in excess of two ounces, went by surface ship transport. This one was prepaid for up to two ounces, bilingually marked Postage Stated Lost over the stamp remnant. It was examined by a British censor at London.      This cover is published by the APS, for this month, being stamp month. They liked my story about researching it>>.https://stamps.org/news/celebrating-national-stamp-collecting-month
