<p>Dear Art,</p>
<p>We are all fine and wondering how you are. Sorry, I haven’t written soon but for the past week I have been a little sick and I am sure, however, that yours truly will live to eat another billion hamburgers, or so. Well how’s the admiral? (By this time I presume you’re an admiral). Nothing much going on here. Over Easter vacation I hit the road with your dad and we had a swell time looking at pennies and telling jokes. I just got a job as an usher here & I now usher at everything at the Lyceum and all the fights and baseball games. It’s sure a swell job and a lot of fun as I go with a bunch of boys. I suppose the President’s death hit you all hard. I know it sure it me hard, all of us. Just the same Pres. Truman is doing a swell job and everything is turning out good. Well the baseball season ads opened here, only a few games have been played, but I will let you know how it’s coming. Write soon, and take care of yourself.</p>
<p>Your everlasting Pal,</p>
<p>Dick</p>

Title
A name given to the resource
V-mail (circa April 16, 1944) from Dick Sachs
Description
An account of the resource
<p>Art Eisenberg's cousin, Dick Sachs, corresponded with him via V-mail (Victory mail) and said, "I suppose the President’s death hit you all hard. I know it sure it me hard, all of us. Just the same Pres. Truman is doing a swell job and everything is turning out good."</p>
<p>The 32th President of the United States, Franklin Delano Roosevelt, died on April 16, 1944.</p>
<p>Dick liked to joke, and called Art an Admiral. Dick's envelope shows that Art is now stationed aboard the U. S. S. Bergen.</p>
<p>Dick told Art how he was on the road with his Dad, had fun joking and looking at pennies. (Frank Eisenberg was a serious penny collector. In one of his letters to Art he told him about finding a penny worth $6.00.)</p>
<p>Dick also tells Art that he got a job as an usher at the Lyceum with a group of other boys and is thrilled. Interestingly enough the 1930 child bride blockbuster , "Dust to Dust," played at the Lyceum in Minneapolis & St. Paul. <br /><br />YouTube link to "Dust to Dust.": <a title=""Dust to Dust!"" href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZFGOZB634rI" target="_blank">http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZFGOZB634rI</a></p>
<p>V-mail stood for Victory mail. V-mail was used to reduce the volume of mail transported overseas and censor the mail going to service men.<br /><a title="V-mail" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/V-mail" target="_blank"> http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/V-mail</a></p>
