Corrected entry: The kids and the men are decorating Easter eggs and Ceilie is stuffing a turkey. Shug gets the mail and takes Ceilie upstairs and hands her the letter. When she turns the letter over the date is July 10. But when she reads the letter she says the date is April 18, 1935. So if it's July, how is it Easter?

Correction: That is how long it took for the letter to get from Africa to Celie in rural Georgia.
Yes, it would take months for the letter to arrive which is the point OP is making. It was written in April, received in July, so why is the family painting Easter eggs in July? It's either Easter and the prop department made an incorrect postmark, or it's July and the director choose to have them painting Easter eggs for no apparent reason.
