This envelope, postmarked at the Camp Beale, California Reception Center on July 8, 1945, was sent by newly inducted Private Ross Moon to Miss M. Sammet of Richmond, California. In place of a postage stamp, Moon signed the envelope under the wavy cancellation lines, using the free mailing privilege granted to U.S. servicemen. Personal letters like this one document the wartime correspondence between servicemen and their loved ones during induction and training. Project: 218345
