USPS already has extremely good handwriting recognition tech. If a human is reading it, it's going to be a very difficult and unique case that the machine couldn't figure out.

Notice that the Utah facility handles the entire United States, so unless "Dorothy" is very famous for living in Gloucester ("Trump, Florida" might work) that's not going to work even with humans in the loop at this stage.

It'd get delivered, if it does, because rather than drop mail they'll send it to Gloucester and the delivery people in Gloucester might be able to fix that, so nothing to do with this facility.
