TRANSCRIBED FROM THE NEWARK JOURNAL OCTOBER 17, 1918 P. 9
“Somewhere in England”
Dear Home Folks:
Cleburn and I are both as fine as can be. Hope you all at home are the same.
There is lots of excitement here in the way of games--baseball, tennis, and in fact, any kind of game we want to see.
Have been very busy since we came here, and while we are enjoying in very much, I would like to be at home with you all whom I love better than I can tell. But we will not be home until a great victory is won for us—for you and I and for all. It is coming fast. Have talked with lots of real soldiers since we have been here.
We see lots of airplanes here. Saw 18 in one flight this morning. It sure looked good too.
Give our love to all the folks,
Clarence M. Fink
NOTES: Writing to his parents Rev. and Mrs. G. L. Fink
