Note: Letter from Walter Clark to cousin William Emslie: April Fool - Shelby College March 31 Dear Willie
I received your short letter, but I received it with pleasure. I always like to hear from home. I will tell you one thing if you send me fifty cents, I will have my ugly picture taken for you and send it to you so that you may see how I look in military. I am very poor or else I would send it any how, but this is scarce where I live (and most always is) I am going to join the Episcopal Church in May tell Grandmother so I hope times will get soft again because it don't suit my constitution. Give my love to all the folks. I hope you will get that situation with Pete Regan. We've had two revivals here lately about 100 sinners entered (the Church) only 7 out of 20 of the boys belong to the church. I don't believe I will come home. I am agoing to try and get a situation here. I am compelled to write a very short letter as it is getting late so good by till the next time. Cadet Walter W. Clark
