Don't do it. Just return the envelope, thank him for
cutting the second check and let it go. If you work
for him again in the future, include a self-addressed
envelope to aid in correct mailing, or just arrange to
pick up your checks in person. If you absolutely can't
resist the urge to comment, make sure you frame it in a
"no wonder it took so long" conversation that puts all
the blame on the Postal Service. But your best bet is
to say nothing if you hope to work for him (or anyone
on the face of the Earth he might conceivably know; it's
a smaller world than you might think) again.

That also meant that, despite the misaddressing, it still got to me in 2
days from where it was postmarked, well within the norm for local/regional
delivery. I'm not sure what to beleive: that he really did mail it on Friday
and the post office somehow delayed it, or that he toldf me a tale and
didn't actually drop it in a mailbox until Tuesday.
When I do hand him the envelope (never opened), I do plan on mentioning that
fact, and see what the response it.
