V-MAIL

V-Mail Service provides the most expeditious dispatch and reduces the weight of mail to and from personnel of our Armed Forces outside the continental United States. When addressed to points where micro-film equipment is operated, a miniature photographic negative of the message will be made and sent by the most expeditious transportation available for reproduction and delivery. The original message will be destroyed after the reproduction has been delivered. Messages addressed to or from points where micro-film equipment is not operated will be transmitted in their original form by the most expeditious means available.

INSTRUCTIONS

(1) Write the entire message plainly on the other side within marginal lines.
(2) PRINT the name and address in the two panels provided. Addresses to member of the Armed Forces should include rank or rating of the addressee, unit to which attached, and APO or Naval address.
(3) Fold, seal, and deposit in any post office letter drop or street letter box.
(4) Enclosures must not be placed in this envelope and a separate V-Mail letter must be sent if you desire to write more than one sheet.
(5) V-Mail letters may be sent free of postage by members of the Armed Forces. When sent by others postage must be prepaid at domestic rates (3c ordinary mail, 6c if air mail is desired).

Dearest Dad and Mother:

It's been quite a while since I wrote to you last, but there haven't been anything to write to you about either.

I hope you are all well and I suppose you are pretty busy with the Fall Harvest. I am feeling fine so please don't worry about me, and I feel that this War will be over before very long and I'm hoping that I'll be home with my wife and the rest of the family before very long.

I have been writing to Alice every day so I hope she's been letting you know that I have been okay.

Well Dad and Mom I'll write again when I get time so until later please take care of yourselves and drop me a line if you find the time.

Love
Mike
