If one party outranks the other in terms of educational degree or professional or social standing then their name always appears first on both the envelope 'Dr.(R) and Mr.(A) Smith' and on the letter itself 'Dear Ruth and Alan' (if you are on a first name basis) or Dear Dr. and Mr. Smith (if not).

I am fairly certain that you would address the letter by listing the names alphabetically on separate lines on the envelope, and then follow with the address. Example: Mr. John Jones Mrs. Jane Smith 200 Nowhere Lane Anyplace, State 00000-0000 It is handled differently if one of the individuals has a title (such as a doctor)...but, I can't remember the rule for that one.
