Rhys' suggestion is your best option. Once you get it apart from the envelope you will need to let it dry, then as soon as it is dry (i.e-not completely, but appears to be dry-there will still be minute amounts of water in the paper, allowing it to be flattened), put a sheet of mylar over it (cut a sleeve apart) and stack books on top of it. You will need to check it constantly to make sure it doesn't stick to the mylar - I don't think it will (from my experience doing something similar) but I would hate to test that theory too strongly.
Rhys or others - is there something you would suggest other than mylar? That's what I used on my Burke Williams after intentionally cleaning it with water, but it's possible there is something that will actually absorb the water without sticking to the print. The mylar just protected the print from the book surface, allowing it to flatten.

What I have done in the past when I soak a photo out of an album or have cleaned them is the put them between two sheet of higher stock (thicker) computer paper in a book and apply pressure, and change it out every minute or two until the photo is just about dry, then run a cool air hairdryer over it just to the point where it is not sticky anymore, then put it back into a few fresh sheets of computer paper in a book and let it sit for a while.
If it is a press photo it will have a bit of a curl to it, but it wont be too bad and will lay flat in a semi-rigid holder or Mylar sleeve. BTW, Old Auction catalogs are AMAZING for the weight need to flatten photos out. They are more dense than anything else on the plant, I think they break laws of physics honestly but I have not confirmed this ![]()
