Maria,

I may be able to help you with the Alhambra, Illinois cover. Will be headed that way in a couple weeks for a day-trip to St. Louis. Dropping my mom off to visit some friends in the next town over from Alhambra. Let me know what exactly you are looking for, and we can work out the details.

I don't know Mexican Hat, but Phoenix is of course one of the (or the) biggest cities in Arizona. How then could a cover come from there postmarked Alhambra? Do you meant that its a town near Phoenix?

Hello aethelwulf,
I´ve not ever been in America, but I´ve see in the web that there is a country called Alhambra Rock. It is a mountain pillar in San Juan, Utah... and I think that is possible that in this countrie exist a cancellation with the name of Alhambra Rock ¿? But I´m not sure... this is near from Mexican Hat... but the name of Mexican Hat is not important for me. i´m searching cancelled related with Alhambra name.
Regards,
María
