This envelope was received by Ray Johnson from Albert Fine. Johnson altered the mailing with written, stamped and typed additions. This item, along with the rest of the New York Corraspondence School Spit for Dadaland items, were given to AA Bronson of General Idea by Ray Johnson in the early 1970s as a means of recirculating the material within the mail art network.
