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). As he writes this he's about to slip off the hill, so if she sees a vertical pen line down the paper, he's fallen. The mountain goes up at a 70 degree angle, and he's 3/4 of the way up, so he got a good workout getting up there. They are now in war again and he starts this campaign off a little better with the addition of a stripe to his sleeve. He is now a sergeant, and the raise in pay from $66 to $78 is nice. She probably thought something was wrong with 2 letters so close together, but he wanted to tell her of his advancement and had already mailed the other letter. Since he's not a truck driver, he should have more time to himself to write. Holding down 2 jobs in the Army is hard, but they have decided (for now) that he's a technician, not a truck driver. Although he never says in the letter where he is, at the end he gives his address in Nashville, TN.
