My Dearest Katsu --

How are you? This is the day we arrived here last month. Am very well but intensely heat and smitten with you. How am I feeling lonesome of course, I will keep close and watch over you as poem "My Shadow." You know the Kiyoshime melted the bronze bell which her lover Anchin was hiden [hidden] behind it in account of her fervoury burning thought.

Remind me the bonfire at the beautiful Alki beach and cool driving in the summer evenings with you, so nicely life. I am not reverie with past but will reconstruct family life and else with you. The wise prime age chose the best of his better half. The Saint Martin Luther at forty, Sir Charles Wesley and John Calvin great married with widow. Did you know?

The tendency of this group are rough and indecent but we have the noted leaders of coast to conduct of them. I try to my best in adjusting with environment.

Today I charge Sunday service her brother preached.

7/27

The [censored] power will settle many cases. Received 7/23 card but no letter yet. Thanks for my taste nuts which coming. Write again when I receive letter and package. Remember me to Mrs. Fujio, Matsuda, Misao and Mr. & Mrs. Seiji, others.

With love

Sincerely Yours. Genji
