Never mind. I did it in plain TeX with pstricks thus:
------------------------------------------------------------
\input pstricks
\special{papersize=4.25in,9.5in}
\voffset 4.5in
\parindent 0pt
\parskip 0pt
\def\crlf{\hfil\break}
\rput{90}{
\vbox{
John Culleton\crlf
2401 Haight Avenue\crlf
Eldersburg, MD 21784

{
\leftskip 3.75in
\obeylines
\input addr
}
}
}
\bye

Instead of printing a horizontal page and rotating the page
I printed a vertical page and rotated the text within it.

Still curious if there is a Context solution to this common
problem.
