Turner of Eatonville, Washington. The envelope is postmarked April 26, 1943 and has a cancelled 3-cent "Win the War" postage stamp. This letter has been professionally framed using TruVue Anti-Reflective Museum Glass. Unconditionally guaranteed authentic. Measures approximately 8" x 14" x 1.25". Condition: Item and frame in excellent condition. Comments: The letter reads, "Dear Mrs. Turner, Thursday evening at 11:30 E.W.T. a list of American soldiers was heard over our wave broadcast from Germany. These men are now German prisoners. Among the names was that of Sgt. R.J. Turner. I sincerely hope that you already know about your son's whereabouts but in case you don't I hope this note will help ease your mind. Good luck! Sincerely, Dorothy C. Moir."
