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 asks how Mamma and family are doing--he's heard they were in the hospital and in the next letter that both were home. That's fast work but he's pleased they are doing well. He comments on how strange it is that a few weeks in bed leaves you so weak, but remembers when he was sick like this before and how hard it was for him to walk again. When he got up this morning he could hardly with all the blood the mosquitoes took last night. The medics came and gave him a quart of blood plasma so he is filled up again for the mosquitoes tonight. It was so cloudy last night the mosquitoes were flying by instruments. He doesn't mind them biting him, but when they argue over him it keeps him awake. (Enough of Bob Hope for now!) He's taking Mary (the WAVE he met earlier) to a beach party and so should have a good time. He hasn't been able to see her since he got back from Hawaii and so will have some fast talking to do to still be in there. With as many men as there are on this island, the girls could afford to pass up Clark Gable. What is funny is that in normal times they probably wouldn't even get dates and now they're just rushed to death---that's war, you know. He asks if his brother-in-law has held the baby yet, and does she cry much? He imagines them running around when she lets out one of her war whoops. He asks for a photo so he can see who he's an uncle to.
