This letter is written on both sides of each sheet; paper has a &quot;United Nations Victorious&quot; logo in the upper left corner of each page. Written while at the University of Minnesota Naval Training School, Francis describes being a Corporal of the Guard (spelled &quot;gaurd&#039;) and the overall functions of the guard unit.
