In fair to good condition. The paper shows moderate soiling; the fold lines are rather worn and show partial separations, a small part of the paper is missing, affecting the text of the letter but not obscuring the meaning of the message. The penmanship is outstanding, making the text perfectly legible. The address side of the letter shows two postal cancellation stamps and the stamp of a military censor.
