WW2 Chapter 21 - A Day Pass


In Waikiki, ~May 1944

5/8/44

Dear Mother,

     Spent the day enjoying a pass in Pearl Harbor, Honolulu, Waikiki, and surrounding areas. Had many opportunities to purchase and enjoy a number of chocolate milks, ice tea, hamburghs -- and milk. Naturally I had a steak dinner -- at a very nice Jap restaurant. Also went swimming, again, and took in a movie. Had a little difficulty getting back -- no one seemed to want to go where I did.

     Will certainly be glad when you receive my permanent address; it takes so damn long for mail to reach me.

Much love, Franklin
