John Clink has received from Virtus
r. Martin q letter dated Nov. 18th con-
cerning Mr.. Clink 3 son, Clarence. who
WAS reported as severely wounded. The
letter is as follows:
II have been visiting your son
Clarence in the hospital frequently OF
late and he is making very good
progress. While wounds are by no
means fatal, yet for while he will
probably have to remain where he Is.
y Just this afternoon he had the prom
ice Of being sent back to the United
states as soon he could possibly stand
the trip, which he thinks will be some
time in December Of January. Last
night he spoke of a certain amount OF
money which was sent to him yet
never reached it's destination, and he
wanted me to ask you to try and trace
il for him. Clarence has suffered
much since he was hurt, both his
right arm and left eye b0thering, but
the doctors think he will be as good
- ever in time. Every one in his
ward knows and likes him, giving him
All the attention possible. Regardless
sof how much pain he may be in he is
always smiling and refuses to be, pet
I'd IN any way. There is no need OF
worry, Mr.. Clink, as Clarence is get
ting the very best Of care possible
and with maybe the exception OF a
small scar on his left cheek he will
il time be in as good condition as
eyer. He did excellent work at the
front and is a great credit to his
country and you and our excellent SOL
diers You may not know me but
Clarence and I worked together for
II. @. Krumm one year some time ago.
!. II was quite by accident that Boyd
Ncvety found him and took he up
later. Both of us keep in close touch
with him and do what we can for
him. While both Clarence and I are
lin this camp, I'll try and keep you
informed from time to time Of his
progress.
wishing Clarence a safe and speedy
return and assuring you of the good
work he has done, for which you both
have reason to be proud, I am,
Very sincerely yours.
