WWII U.S. Mail from a Sailor (1945)
This is an original 1945-dated piece of mail from Charles Ellwood Martin, a sailor stationed in San Francisco, California. The envelope retains its original $0.06 stamp and is addressed to his family, back home in Chicago, Illinois. The letter, itself, consists of three pages and its topics range from Martin's buddies in Pearl Harbor to a recent purchase of 20 shares of Packard Motor Company.
