My Dearest Katsu:

It is delightful cheer to me, received your loving letter and a card last night after full three weeks haven't heard anything at all. Thank God you and sons well living under summer heat. How you hold write to me so long? I can't, please keep write to me every week without excuse! You attract me like magnet, my soul always point to your heart.

I am compelled to stoicism now but have experience to control myself and have the world of spirit to free communion with you. I am sorry we part now but honest to God, I am nothing wrong but says "Are leader of the Japanese Group" and they never mention nor listen that I told at same time I served in American organization as much as…

Now we have a request "TO LIVE TO-GATHER [together] WITH FAMILY" as internees, to authority for Family Internment Camp.

Will you agree with our plan when if it has actual realized. You keep my passport a while. You got coupons 2.50 each. We got 3.00 per month but our money keep in Washington D.C. so no body be rich nor thrifty here [censored]. RCVD package with joy to-day, have enough now for years. Best care Deary.

G.M.
