Personal?/Official? Mail
Sat Jan 20 10:28:45 2001


From the letters I have read it would appear that personal mail home was most likely carried by another soldier going home on leave or being sent home. Official mail was another thing and there are many reports of "mail" being captured. Great pains were made to keep mail from reachig Richmond or leaving. Same way with Montreal, Canada. It seems prudent to say that if you wanted a fast safe way to get personal mail home you sent it with a buddy.
