Can you tell the date a letter was delivered if the envelone has only a presorted stamp label?
No, you can't tell the date that a letter was delivered by the date of a presorted stamp or even by a dated postmark. A presorted imprint is put on an envelope when the envelope is printed at a printer, before it is even delivered to the party who will be mailing it. When a letter is sent from Oregon to Florida, the postmark date is the date it was in a post office in Oregon, not the date it was delivered in Florida. The only way to tell when a letter was delivered is when someone is there to receive it.
