    This is an exceptionally rare Volume 1 Number 4 ship's newsletter. I have several others in the first run of newsletters that are listed for sale in my store.
    Important Notes for Buyers:
    Newsletter is from the estate of a USS Midway former sailor and plankowner (a member of the first crew to man a US Navy ship.) Note - the manila envelope with the sailors name is not included and is only shown as proof of provenance. Also not included are the 2 Midway religious services pamphlets as they are only representing provenance as well.
    Condition is "Used". Shipped with USPS First Class.
