You better ask to housing officer at once and again. Who is Mrs. Kawata? She will ask herself to own home! I am well & busy at Mayor's office every day. Heard from Mrs. Matsuda visited you 2 miles, I sent you yesterday c/o her add.

The nature of New Mexico especial [especially] the clouds are so beautiful this morning after the rain we saw the golden clouds that looked like a flame in the eastern sky. We Japanese who love nature could enjoy life where we go. The entertainment which was to be give Saturday eve. was post pond [postponed], owing to the rain, but it was held Sunday from six. Each performer charmed the audience with his sweet voice and wonder

-ful act, and it was over at ten. With great success all the people in the whole camp enjoyed themselves under the starry sky of autumn. We are not forget to observe integrity at as such camp life but some one lost his virtue as such the serious time. They talking about him with sneer such as. He gave to Yone very often delivered cakes and lunches which his wife brought for him herself at Immigration house.

Your Genji
