Betty Lou Johnson, an employee at Tule Lake, writes to her "Dearest Folks" about the geography of the area, her job, music jam sessions, and requests for supplies. She also discusses her beliefs about incarcerated Japanese and Japanese Americans; stating that they are all pro-Japan, her offense at hearing Japanese spoken, and her belief a child she interacts with would slit the throat of any American if given the opportunity.

April 30, 1945
