MJA address (was Re: Pynchon handwriting)

[Mark Wright AIA]

Curious, I tapped her up on anywho.com, and see that she no longer
lists a street address, just "New York NY 10001"
That zip code is, of course, the main post office opposite Mad Sq Gdn.
It is a gargantuan classical building by McKim Mead & White, and it
sports the text frieze "Neither rain nor sleet nor snow stays these
couriers" etc etc *and*     wait for it    the names Thurn und Taxis.
Its a shame, but it seems we've driven Melanie, Tom and Jackson even
further underground. Contact her through W.A.S.T.E.
