The cover bears three Belgian postage stamps consisting of two 75-centime King Albert I issues and one 25-centime allegorical issue, tied by Brussels postal cancellations. The reverse is marked “From the Franklin D. Roosevelt Collection – Authenticated by H.R. Harmer Inc., N.Y.”, identifying it as originating from the historic Franklin D.
