Shadur Everett McKinley Dirksen Building Room 2388 219 South Dearborn Street Chicago IL 60604 Mysteriously the postal authorities stamped the envelope "Addressee unknown," and nearly two weeks later the mailing found its way back to counsel's office in Lisle, Illinois. This Court will put Counsel's express-mail transmittal was properly addressed
