These are V-Mail letters sent from soldiers overseas during World War II to the Macy family of rural Neosho in Newton County, Missouri. The letters are from Wayne H. Macy, Wayne G. Palmer, Lee B. Macy, and David C. Jones. The letters were sent to Mr. and Mrs. W. Arnold Macy and Mrs. Sue [Lue?] Macy. They were sent from North Africa, Italy, New Guinea, the Netherlands East Indies, and Maluka (Indonesia).

There are seventeen letters in this collection. All were sent using the “V-Mail” process. Most were sent to Mrs. W. A. Macy of Neosho, although one was addressed to Mr. and Mrs. W. A. Macy and another was addressed to Mrs. Sue [Lue?] Macy. The soldiers were the sons, husbands, or otherwise related to the addressees. Due to military censorship, the soldiers could do little more than provide their general location and personal condition. Wayne H. Macy served with the 398^th Engineers and Lee B. Macy served in the 1710^th Signal Battalion in the European Theater, while Wayne G. Palmer served with the 13^th Portable Surgical Hospital and David C. Jones served in the 126^th Infantry Regiment in the Southwest Pacific Theater.
