If you drop mail at the PO there is no receipt, not unless you pay for
registered return receipt. And then it doesn't get placed with
ordinary mail, registered mail goes as priority mail... years ago that
was called "Special Delivery", there are no more "Air Mail" stamps
either, it's now lumped together as Priority, Express & Air Mail
Stamps.
