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 wanted to write more but he's so tired that all he can do is try to sleep. Try is the best he could do. He had a bad cot and a couple of nights he had to go out on night problems in the jungle. A night in the jungle--he could write a book on this were he a writer, but he'll tell them all about it when he gets home. You have to go through by compass and you run into some situations. The vegetation is so high you have to feel your way, and with all the cliffs you could go over, you have to feel every step before you make it. The branches and roots of the trees are so think that you find yourself walking along in the treetops before you realize it. It's easier to climb around the trees than fight your way on the ground. He happened to be in a group that got away from the head of the column and there he was in the middle of nowhere without a compass. They wandered around the swamp for 2 hours. You can be walking around and all of a sudden fall through and find yourself in water up to your neck. You cannot use a light so you have to use your hands and find your way. He's glad it's over but it was the best army course he's had. You even learn how to live on food found in the jungle. Jack Benny played a show for them on his way back from the South Pacific. He had Carole Landis, Martha Tilton, and Larry Adler were with him and Carole Landis is beautiful. He got a good look at them and Benny's hair is gray but otherwise he looks the same. He got a good seat at the show and enjoyed it. He's also been seeing a lot of the hula shows and some of them are pretty good. He asks if she's ever seen the end of the rainbow--he's been within 20 yards of one and there was no pot of gold.
