This handwritten letter, dated January 18, 1946, is written from W. N. (William Neill) Bogan, Jr. where he is stationed in Germany to Juliette Chamberlin in Jackson, Mississippi.

Kelly that contain continuations of the penciled notes are included with the letter. The two cards are postmarked Jackson, Mississippi, February 12, 1946 and include purple three cent stamps. The air mail envelope is postmarked U. S. Army Postal Service, A. P. O., January 19, 1946 and includes a red six cent air mail postage stamp. The penciled notes continue longways across the front and back of the envelope.
