Private Clarence Nanney son of Mrs. Stella Nanney.
Mrs. Stella Nanney, Greeneville, Rt. 7 recently received the following letter from her son, Pvt. Clarence A. Nanney, who is serving in the U.S. Army. Hello Mother: I received your letter today and was certainly glad to hear from you. Well, Mother, don’t worry a bit about me. The army is a pretty good place to be. I have good beds, clean clothes to wear, planty of food to eat and lots of fun. There are several boys from Greene County here. Most of the boys call me “Nanney” and “Tennessee.” There are about fifty boys in my barracks. Today I was the only one that had my rifle properly cleaned and shined, and the captain complimented me for it. Write to me often. I do like so much to hear from home. Love Bud.
