V-Mail System Urged for Mail to Soldiers in War Time
Admiral Chester W. Nimitz urges families to use the V-Mail system for correspondence to forces afloat and abroad. The Pacific Fleet notes speed, privacy, and economy, with four day delivery to Pacific Coast cities and six days to East Coast points after posting. V-Mail uses 16 mm microfilm in Honolulu, sent by air and enlarged for recipients, saving days and aircraft space. Mainlanders may obtain V-Mail forms at any post office. letters are reviewed for censorship before reaching addressees.
