V-Mail letter sheet was sent by Seaman 1st Class Joseph Spiegelberg to his wife Ruth while he was stationed at Manila, Philippine Islands. Probably the form was dispatched unprocessed (not microfilmed) because it dates from late 1945 and it was deemed quicker to dispatch as is. Postmarked October 18 of that year, it was only a few short weeks until microfilming officially ceased in November.
