DESCRIPTION

A letter from Tsukiyo Okasako in Hiroshima, Japan to Seiichi Okine. She is presumably one of the neighbors in Seiichi Okine's hometown. She thanks him for the gifts including 4 lbs of sugar, safety pins, needles, thread, clothes, and towels which are scarce in Japan. She informs that Jokichi Yamanaka brought the gifts to her. She reminisces about Masao Okine's visit when he was stationed in Japan as a Nisei soldier. She also writes about her family in the letter. She lost her husband nine years ago when her two sons were ages nine years and two years respectively. Jokichi Yamanaka often helps her in growing rice and she expects her sons to be able to help her soon. She and other people in Japan wish to meet the Okines sometime. The arrival date of the letter, March 15, 1948, is recorded on the backside of the envelope.
