Addressed to "Dad." A brief note stating that he forgot to ask about his watch that he sent home before he left Seattle. He would like his father to have it fixed for him. He still hasn't received any mail, so he hopes they've gotten his many letters.

The V-mail letter is dated as "Sunday July 16th." "Letters in a Box" dates the letter as July 16, 1944.
