Offered is this vintage World War II-era letter and envelope from the Office of the Adjutant General of the Military Department of the State of South Carolina. The typed letter, on South Carolina Military Department letterhead, is dated December 31, 1942 and is written from the adjutant general, James C. Dozier (his name abbreviated as "Jas. C.
