Anonymous World War II Letter (Z/2066)

Date: 1945. 

Scope and Content Note:

This collection consists of one uncensored World War II letter that was written on board a hospital ship on April 23, 1945. The letter, from "Don" to his mother, who lived in Jackson, Mississippi, was delivered to its recipient by a friend of the writer who was from there. This enabled the writer to more freely describe war experiences that almost certainly would have been censored.
