The mailman ate my rent

I mailed out January's rent on December 27. Last week, my landlady told me she hadn't received it. I wrote another check. As I did, I knew that the original would probably come back undeliverable for some reason. Today, it arrived back (Redactions mine, not the Post Offices):

Apparently, USPS was hungry. That note enclosed is an apology.

This is my first effort at altering a picture. Very good if I'd say so myself.
