I haven’t put a return address on an envelope since I found out about “closed cover” monitoring in the 1970’s.

Can’t find a reference with a quick search, but IIRC the Nixon administration was having the post office record return addresses on letters directed to certain recipients.

Never give a government access to ANY information you wouldn’t give to your bitterest enemy.

If it is tax deductible, yes. Otherwise, no. If anything, put the address you are sending the mail to in the return spot, in case the handling equipment shucks the stamps off (has happened to me numerous times).

Very wise advice!
