He then signed all nine letters and mailed them at the Bloomsburg, Pennsylvania post office the following morning.


Despite the Claimant Letter being dated 30 October and signed on 1 November, the 2nd of November is a [[Public Holidays in Westarctica|public holiday]] celebrated as Independence Day in [[Westarctica]] due to it being the day Travis gained the courage to undertake the action of actually mailing the letters.
