    1. [GA-Roots] WW-2 V Mail - ROOTS-L Digest V00 #410

    3. Good Evening to all, I would be interested in this information but I have to admit, it worries me to think that personal mail directed to our kin back home is still floating around. A lot of personal comments were made in these letters, especially to our girl friends. One of the things I remember were gaps in text content of the letters I sent home. My mother showed me some I sent and they looked like a hungery gopher had gotten into the house and ate a portion of the letter. Unfortunately, since her death in 1961 the V-mail letters disappeared.

Does anyone know if these microfilms are still in existence, and, if so, how would one obtain a hard copy of selective letters? Thanks-------------Charley Hall in IL.
