Hi Sis.
Harry wasn’t kidding when he saidHawaiiis the best berth in the army. It is so beautiful here. This isn’t just a beach like Coney — it’s like Hashem created the sand here by taking diamonds and crushing them. And the palm trees! We’re assigned toFortShafter which is a whole lot nicer than Crowder and the training is interesting and guess what? No ten-mile runs.
Here we mostly use our brains — if they don’t melt in the tropical sun ha ha. I have some great stuff to eat — the guys go fishing in their spare time (yes here we have spare time not like inMissouri!) and they catch something they call mahi-mahi that has scales and fins and they give them to me. Delicious! Mrs. Horn should start cooking in an army helmet over a primus stove. Tell her that from me.
And also tell your “friend” Abe (hmmm???) that I haven’t gone surfing yet but next week on our Sunday liberty we’re planning to take an airplane flight over the island. Costs a bundle but Lu’s cousin says it’s worth everyLincolnpenny. And it sure beats theSeaBeach!!! And even Abe’sPontiac I’ll bet.
Love
Moey

Annie put her brother’s letter back into its onion skin envelope. ThoughHawaiiseemed so far away she was happy he was having a good time and that army life was not as hard as it had been originally.
