- Accepted items: We will accept the following items; PHOTOS, POSTCARDS, SMALL SIGNATURE PLATES.
PLEASE NOTE: We would generally like to provide our own book plates with acid free backing as well as our own approved photos but we will sometimes accept high quality photos if one if preferred. If your image is not sent back to you it will be replaced with one from our approved stock.
- Return Postage: We ask that you include a pre-addressed, stamped return envelope (SASE) for your item to be mailed back to you. International requests must include valid International Reply Coupons (IRCs) or adequate postage.

For your own privacy, please do not include sensitive personal information (such as phone numbers, financial details, or social security numbers) in your letters. We are not responsible for securing or returning unauthorized personal property sent to our offices.
6. Response Time
Due to high volumes of mail and varying production schedules, please allow 8-10 weeks for a response. Do not send multiple follow-up letters, as this may delay processing times.

We try to archive all the mail George receives at Texas A&M literary foundation and he greatly appreciates anyone taking the time to reach out.
