Description

In this typewritten letter to his parents dated May 16, 1945, Capt. William Cline expresses his strong desire to be done with war: "I have a feeling that I will see the States before we go to the Pacific...when and if we go. It might not be patriotic to say it but I don't care to make that trip. This business of war really gives a person a funny feeling that just can't be explained. As I told you before I came over here--I knew I would be scared and I was just that many times. It just isn't human to have some one wanting to shoot at you."
