Abstract

John Finn writes from England to his father, James G. Finn, in St. Albans, Vermont; he was thankful to receive a package from home and asks for him to send long johns and candles if possible. The cold and damp climate is different from home and the rain produces a lot of mud. He wishes everyone at home a "Merry Christmas & A Very Happy New Year." ; John R. Finn's education at Norwich University was interrupted by World War II. During the war, he served in the 8th Armored Division of the U. S. Army in the European Theater and was awarded the Purple Heart after receiving a hand wound. He returned to Norwich University after the war and graduated with a BA degree in English in 1946.
