Boomerang mail

Several weeks ago, mail I attempted to send to Richard Baudet was delivered to me, because apparently the post office confused the return address for the destination (though they were clearly labeled "to:" and "from:"). I re-addressed the mail, this time making the destination address more prominent. A couple of weeks later, it arrived again in my mailbox. I put it aside for awhile, but think I will put a new address label on it and try to send it again in the next day or so. I almost hope that it will return to me...I am beginning to think of this as performance art, rather than mail art.

When I took my boomerang mail to the postal clerk , he said I had to obliterate the line coding( very faint lines / or place in a new envelope with the To address the darkest ink).Hopefully dear Richard will get your letter one day♥
