An envelope that reads "Sometimes Weekly In Exile." In the top left courner is the Sometimes Weekly Publishing Company Logo, which reads "S. W." and is followed by a small icon of a bird-feather quill pen. In the top right corner is a Mark Twain stamp.
A type-written note from the American Actor Tom Hanks. On the top of the note is a green-ink stamp of a typewriter with a small piece of paper that reads "H. A N. X." The letter from Tom Hanks reads: "24 February 2025. Yes, Dr. Butler... 'Sometimes Weekly' may be the best schedule for the reportage of news and memory... On now, and INTO '25, my newsletters could be called Sometimes Weekly... I prize the membership. Throw Deep, Tom Hanks." Above Tom Hanks' type-written name is his signature in a thick green sharpie.
