DESCRIPTION
Personal letter written from the Santa Anita Temporary Assembly Center and describing early days there, including lack of regular work and schooling schedules and of appropriate food for children; scouts and boys' clubs being in development; religious services on Sundays attracting nearly 2000 people; and the need to wait for community facilities such as laundry and mess halls. Suzuki thanks Miller for his work and states that "the nipping of creative endeavor will be the worst evil."
