Abstract
Abstract The invention concerns a two-way communication medium in the form of double post card or the like which enables easy communication of information in secret during both forward mailing and reply mailing, and which can be opened with little or no trouble for reading of the information. Sheet portions of the two way communication medium body are folded one over another with the information written surface or surfaces placed inside. A releasably adherent insertion sheet is interposed between the superposed sheets. The insertion sheet provides good adhesion contact between its surfaces and individual sheet portion surfaces.
