Clifford writes a V-Mail home to the Folks on V-E Day; apologizes for not writing more has been busy; is well but wonders what’s next – the main gossip is do we stay here or get a 21 day furlough or go straight to CBI (China Burma Indochina) – it could be anything but a discharge; just received the swell watch they sent – took only 11 days; answer soon and use his new APO 339.
