DESCRIPTION

A letter from Makoto Okine to his father, Seiichi Okine. He writes from Italy where he is stationed as a Nisei solder. The letter is mailed via New York by the U.S. Army Postal Service.

The government deducts 25.00 dollars from Makoto's salary monthly and mail a check to Seiichi. The process takes one or one and half months. He also writes about his brother, Masao, who is also stationed in Japan as a Nisei soldier. He expresses his interest in Japan and wishes that he was deployed in Japan as a Military Intelligence Service soldier.
