EDITOR’S NOTE: Below is Clifford’s first letter home since June 15th, (almost ten weeks ago.)
Aug. 25, 1944 2380 CF Camp Barkeley, Texas
The Folks hear from Clifford at last; just got back from the field today; had to turn in some of their stuff; hears they are going to Camp Bowie, Texas for more training; has sure been on the move the past few months; gets a lick out of some postcards; hopes to be h home for a few days when Winfred gets there – but he better hurry; everybody dislikes their officers and hopes for new ones when they transfer; guesses Patsy will be starting school soon; time is going by quickly and news is scarce.
