Letter of Intent to Karl F. Baldwin

Title

Letter of Intent to Karl F. Baldwin

Description

A letter to Colonel Karl F. Baldwin from the office of Psychological Warfare Branch of the Allied Forces in the Southwest Pacific Area, that was sent along with a scrapbook containing propaganda leaflets the branch issued during World War II. The leaflets were printed by the Psychological Warfare Branch and airdropped to local civilian populations as well as Japanese troops in the Philippine Islands, Japan, Formosa and surrounding areas. The letter explains that the scrapbook was meant to be a permanent record of the proclamations, fliers and leaflets created and distributed by the Psychological Warfare Branch of the Allied Forces in the Southwest Pacific Area. It further explains that some pages of the scrapbook have been intentionally left blank, as to leave room for future leaflets to be inserted into the scrapbook, as the war was not yet over and the Psychological Warfare Branch was still actively issuing propaganda. This letter was included in a scrapbook of propaganda issued by the Psychological Warfare Branch which was collected for Colonel Karl F. Baldwin.
