(a recently active serviceman) dated
4 April, 1987 on Hamlin’s stationery.
[400/600]
In addition to visiting wounded servicemen,
Hamlin drew a series of cartoons for the Air
Force Hospitals in Nashville and Sarasota,
depicting the steps a service person would have
to take during the convalescence process. They
were published in their magazine “Review”
and, according to Hamlin in the accompanying
letter “although not in comic strip form, I con-
sider them to be among the best of my work
even tho done in 1944.” By this time, his eye-
sight was so poor that he added as a postscript
“Disregard errors in this-remember I cannot
read what I write.”
