Description
In this typewritten letter to his parents on VE Day, Capt. William Cline discusses the end of the war in Europe and assures them that he has not been sent to the Pacific yet: "No doubt you might be thinking that I'm on another boat trip in the wrong direction but it is not that way...I still have the same desires that I have had for many months now...They can have their promotions, all I want is to get home." At the end he writes: "Right now we are sitting in suspense, hoping that we will get sent back to the states pretty soon. None of us care to see China or Japan. Everyone is thinking of nothing but home."
