Letter from John Fitz Simons to his sister Louisa — from Manila during World War I.
AI Notes
A pale, unfranked envelope with a handwritten endorsement in blue ink across its face. Mis-titled ‘World War I’ — John McCready FitzSimons served in the U.S. Navy and was in Manila in 1928 (see the five-page letter on pages 447–451). The label is in the compiler’s hand.
The endorsement misdates the contents: John McCready FitzSimons’s Manila letters in this album are from 1928, not the World War I era. The envelope likely contained one of the letters partly transcribed on pages 447–451 or a companion piece.
