Item Description

Cover is in Very Fine condition, no return address.About censoring: In wartime, mail was censored when it was heading to countries that we were enemies with, or were occupied by our enemies. Sometimes, the mail was opened by censors, to make sure there was no information that could hurt or be used against the USA. Wiki Excerpt: 1942After shakedown in the Atlantic, San Juan departed from Hampton Roads, Virginia on 5 June 1942 as part of a carrier task group formed around Wasp and bound for the Pacific. The group got underway from San Diego on 30 June escorting a large group of troop transports destined for the Solomon Islands where the Navy was about to launch the first major American amphibious operation of the war. Following rehearsal in the Fiji Islands, San Juan provided gunfire support for the landings at Tulagi on 7 August 1942. On the night of 8-9 August, she was patrolling the eastern approaches to the transport area between Tulagi and Guadalcanal when gun flashes indicated that fighting was taking place in the western approaches. The action turned out to be the Battle of Savo Island, in which an enemy cruiser force sank four Allied cruisers. San Juan retired from the forward area with the empty transports on the 9th and escorted them to Noumea.Addressed to:Victor S.
