Tripler Gen Hospital
Ward 2 - 8th floor
Honolulu,
13 April 1953
Dear Mother -
My first night here. Seems not at all like a hospital - nice lounge one floor up - even a movie I can go to from 6-8 PM, very good food, too, & lots of it. Not like St. John's, huh?
Routine questions & examination session today. They won't say a definite "yes" (you know how doctors are!) but they think they can help me.
My room mate is a WAVE, in for a goiter operation, there are just 2 of us in the room, & we share a pretty yellow tile bathroom.
Can sit in lounge chairs on the balcony outside our room, & sunbathe. Can look way over to the other side of Honolulu, & have a good view of the mountains. Wish you could see it.
Take good care of yourself, & remember - I love you.
