A combination record, envelope and severable receipt structure comprising: means defining an envelope including a flap provided with means for sealing the envelope; a record sheet secured about substantially the entirety of three marginal edges to the face of said envelope to define a pocket therebetween, said record sheet further including a line of weakening closely adjacent and extending substantially parallel to the remaining marginal edge thereof to define a removable stub between said line of weakening and said remaining marginal edge, said record sheet further including indicia on the side thereof opposite said envelope; an insert within said pocket, said insert including indicia on a side thereof opposite said envelope and corresponding to at least some of the indicia on said record sheet and being aligned therewith, said insert serving as a severable receipt and being secured to said structure substantially only at said stub with the remainder thereof being substantially free within said pocket; and means for transferring information inscribed on said record sheet to said receipt sheet; whereby tangible items to be transferred may be sealed in said envelope and a record of the transfer made on said record sheet to accompany said envelope while allowing severing of said receipt with information thereon by removing said stub from said record sheet.
