Correspondence from Owen Hamilton to his sister June Meyer (June E. Hooe Hamilton Meyer, 1919-2010 (https://www.findagrave.com/memorial/81471045/june-e_hooe-meyer). He thinks he might never settle down since he's been transferred to another island. This one is better since Honolulu is here; the other island was scenic but he's had enough of scenery. There are more pineapples growing on this island than you can imagine. Honolulu is a big town but has no tall buildings. Pearl Harbor is something to see. There are more GIs running around than anyone else, but that's the same everywhere now. He cannot wait to go to Waikiki Beach as it's so romantic, so he's heard. They are in the perfect spot right now and he's well pleased. He cannot say anything about his work, but he doesn't believe there's any present danger. He's talked to Bill Burns and will meet up with him....it's great to have contact with someone from home. He asks if she's received her birthday present and cablegram yet. After he gets paid he will send her a grass skirt--she wanted one--and she will have to put it on and dance the hula for Morgan (her husband). He doesn't really want anything from her except for letters. The mail is still funny, but he gets a letter often, and sometimes, because they don't always arrive in order, he get the answer to a question before he gets the question. She should add Unit #1 to his address and he may get letters quicker. There is the possibility of having your picture taken with a hula girl with her arms around you and a leg poking out, but he's afraid of blackmail should he get one of these and send it home! He says to tell Bob (no further identification) that he will like the Army better when he gets overseas.
