This inventive checklist-style V-Mail letter let a Seabee describe his overseas routine in a single glance, checking off droll options under headings like 'Today I Killed' and 'I'm Working On.' Blending self-deprecating humor with affectionate teasing, it reflects the informal voice enlisted men often used to reassure loved ones without dwelling on the hardships of service. Dated 7 July 1944 and addressed to Miss Beatrice Cory of San Francisco, it carries the standard naval censor's approval stamp required of all overseas mail. Project: 218674
