In the cover was a card showing the Apachen war chief Geronimo on a photograph from the collection of the Library of Congress. The Library of Congress is the research library that officially serves the United States Congress. It is the oldest federal cultural institution in the USA and one of the largest libraries in the World.
On the second cover are two stamps from a recent set about Fruits and Vegetables (issued 17-07-2020). These two show Eggplants and Figs. A third stamp deals with Energy Conservation (issued 20-10-1977). The postmark is from Castine in Maine, where one of the oldest post offices in the USA is located.
Inside was this postcard, which on the backside says "Visitors to New Mexico's pueblos are often rewarded with scenes like this."
At first I thought the same stamp was used on the second and third cover, but now I realise that this one is actually about Energy Development. Lemons and Blueberries from the Fruits and Vegetables are used as well. The postmark seems to be about Christmas, however I can not read the name of the town.
The postcard in this cover shows Indian paintbrush growing from fossilized sand dunes.
Thank You very much Sam-Quito!
