Taking the letter opener, he sliced it through the top to create another opening. It was a smooth cut and thankfully did not cut into the letter directly. The 'letter' was around 8"11 but folded in half to fit inside the envelope. Sticking his index finger and his thumb inside, he gripped it by the fold and pulled it out. The fit was a bit tight, but he was able to grab it out without any tears.
Due to his gloves he couldn't feel the material directly, but the paper felt tough. Almost like card stock which was a fairly easy paper to purchase. If it had been more special, he could have had the paper sourced and potentially narrow down who the sender was. The chances of the sender giving him that opportunity was low, but the thought still crossed his mind.
