Envelope addressed to James A. Gregory and the same city John Lamson lived in; Lynn, Massachusetts. Shipped First Class, and asking for the recipient to join the Veterans of World War I.

Context

John Lamson was a MM1c on Battleship Texas from May 1917 to June 1919. Throughout his time on Texas, he sent a letter to his family at least once a week, often more. Longer stretches of absence are explained either by movement across the Atlantic, or with the Grand Fleet.
