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's heard about her fishing trip and says not to mention picnics to him--he gets sick just thinking about it. After the war if he ever goes so much as to Mesker (a park in Evansville) and picnics, he hopes someone kicks him. He's enjoying the beach and the water and climate are wonderful. He's beginning to disagree with Sherman that ""war is hell."" He heard a Japanese propaganda broadcast and it was a laugh. To hear them talk they treat the POWs with the best of care--they even had one to testify. He either had a gun to his back or this was a Japanese impersonation--he thinks the latter because he noticed errors of speech that an American wouldn't make. The newscast that they had implied that the Americans might as well just go home. He guesses she's glad to be finished with teaching for awhile, and urges her and Morgan (her husband) to take a vacation. He's getting his letters more regularly now.
