(V-mail from Vic to younger brother Paul, sent from Bougainville, Solomon Islands to Berkeley, California. Picture is of a soldier, possibly George (Yuts) Conrad on airplane wing.)

Monday,

Dear Paul,

Several days ago I sent you a brief letter and enclosed some negatives. The mail regulations provide that film must not travel air-mail so this letter will probably arrive a good wk. in advance of the previous one. That makes two letters I've sent you via regular mail containing negatives, and please send prints to the persons I've designated.

Can you enclose a few air-mail stamps in your next reply so that I can use the envelopes and stationery you sent? Please wrap them in wax paper so that they won't be all stuck to-gether.

Have you heard from the folks and Rudy and Ed recently? Have the latter forward you any negatives & prints of late? Mother says you're enrolling in college again this Fall. What subjects do you intend taking?

Your brother,
Vic

Paul, will you have a good print made from the negative of Yuts on a plane-wing sent to his family?
