EDITOR’S NOTE: Though Clifford mentions being busy training and patrolling, he is either still in the hospital, or convalescing in Nancy, France. His battalion is still located in Bad Sodden, Germany. It is also possible Clifford wrote the wrong date on the letter dated June 6, 1945 in which he informs the Folks he is in the hospital.
June 10, 1945 3300 CF Nancy, France
Clifford writes the Folks he has been getting behind in writing again; been busy training & patroling + not feeling too well; would like to know what he’s going to do from here – could be anything; would like to see home before going any place; is using the fountain pen they sent & received the box of candy; hopes they don’t feel too bad if he doesn’t come home soon (been about a year – for others about three); doesn’t want out of the army until it is all over; hopes Japan is all we’ll have to fight – hopes Russia tries to get along with us – has argued about this before.
