The sheets, which fold and seal, requiring no envelope, are free to relatives and friends of the men in the service and three sheets per day are allowed to each applicant. The new device, known as the "V-Letter," has space for a message, the proper address form and requires a three cent stamp for transmission. Sent to an Army post office, as for instance to the New York office, the letter is to be photographed on a strip of film and the film transmitted by air or ship or other means to the address of the soldier to whom sent. There it is enlarged to a readable size and a photograph provided the soldier.
