In the record Of the Roosevelt

nothing TO support the thesis that,

V-Mail Bonds May Be Sent
 GIs Overseas

If you intend to send a gift to a friend or relative overseas and have been worried about missing the October deadline for overseas mailing, set your mind at ease. You may now send him, or her, a gift by V-Mail, and it's the best gift of ala War Bond.
 The Base Finance Office now has V-Mail forms that feature a photo stat of a Bond. When you purchase a Bond for friend overseas you receive the usual Bond and keep it for him until his return to the States. As proof of the purchase, however, one of the V-Mail Bond forms is made out to duplicate the Bond purchased and this is sent to your friend showing that you have the gift for him until his return. The V-Mail form has no value and should the soldier lose it he still has the real Bond in safekeeping at home. It is merely method of showing him that you do have the Bond for him. There is also room on the V-Mail form for a personal message.
