FALKLANDS WAR: Cover (with its long original letter) to a soldier in Puerto Argentino (Stanley) from a friend in Buenos Aires, dispatched on 10/JUN/1982. The text is interesting, about the bad employment situation and his wish to send him a parcel with cigarettes, but he knows that the mail is not arriving and asks him about alternatives for the shipment; he also comments the news that reached Argentina, that said that "we are winning...". Fine quality, rare (mail from family and friends to soldiers at the front, when preserved by those soldiers, was seized by the British along with any other belongings when the Argentines surrendered, and for that reason it is very scarce!)
