This 1946 envelope, addressed from Pfc Ross Moon to Miss Marianne Sammiet of Richmond, California, is part of a preserved cache of wartime and early postwar correspondence. Mailed through Army Post Office 468 and postmarked September 5, 1946, it reflects the vast network of personal letters that connected American servicemen overseas with loved ones at home during and immediately after World War II. Such correspondence, often the only surviving link between soldiers and their families, remains one of the most personal and evocative forms of wartime historical record. Project: 218341
