Handwritten Wartime Letter, 'Dear Mom, Pop & Marcella,' Dated November 2 (Thursday), Referencing APO Mail Forwarding

This handwritten letter, dated 'Nov. 2, Thursday,' is addressed to 'Mom, Pop & Marcella' and references mail forwarded through an Army Post Office (APO), indicating the writer was serving overseas during World War II. Associated with the wartime correspondence of a B-24 Liberator belly gunner, the letter offers a personal glimpse into the everyday concerns of servicemen and their families — receiving mail, a father's pension, and plans for a family reunion in Sacramento — set against the backdrop of global conflict.
