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). It's just midnight and he's spending the new year on guard duty, much to his disgust. He has been thinking about being home last year at this time and how much he enjoyed it, and looks forward to being home when he doesn't have to worry about leaving. He thanks her for the $5 and says this will come in handy when he goes to the island of Hawaii. He has plane reservations both ways and a place to stay, and is looking forward to this.
