My Dear Katsuno;

Thanks for your letter of 13th, Preasure [pleasure]! You are well as you walk so long distance to meet friends most every Sunday. Please tell to Roy do not work too hard. I am very well with all friends. Glad you had communion service, we going to have next Sunday. It is very interesting and good for my soul to read the Bible every morning, I make it rule but just a chapter; to-day the Act. fifteenth only. Some time I take a stroll in the Comp. This afternoon I saunter about alone and enjoy myself by seeing the vegetables cultivated by some people here. I saw a sign warning "NO SUITORS WELCOME; DAUGHTERS ARE TOO YOUNG" there was green small melon, young corn and radishes. You can guess, the big camp of MEN ONLY, EVEN NAPOLEON sent letter to his JOSEPHINE says "Sending a thousand kisses, but you must not give me kiss for they burn my blood! I open the letter once more to send you a Kiss. Ah; --- Josephine. Josephine!"


I had George's letter yester. He is high spirit on duty in Army, and ask me to send copy of my poems, and said "Pa is so overcrowded with various hobbies and social events." I will send card soon. I read "The Minidoka IRRIGATOR" to-day and learn many things. Please best care yourself for my sake. Remember me to Mr. SANO, Fukuo, Mr. Nakagawa, Hara, Mr. Chikamura, Okajima.

Yours Genji
