My Dear Katsu;-

How are you? All right I think. Thank you for the Koffee-Toffee delicious sweet which I got yesterday with rejoice, and ate at the tea time with my friends who were envy so much upon me, say "Sweet Wife" Yes! Dear I love it, in my mouth very often as tasteful as kissing you. The moon is about a half to-night (Friday) I enjoyed full moon last month. The moonlight viewed now in the chill of the night looks rather cold, though, we could however enjoy a moon always, I guess. Now I hear a phonograph record playing in a neighboring barrack. What a sweet feminine voice. It is so charming and fascinating. "It's so reminiscent," says a friend near mine, "It reminds me of Sixth Ave. & Main St." I look up at the moon through the window, the record is still playing. A quiet night.

How are boys? Hallowe'en [Halloween] has come round. I wonder what kind of Hallowe'en [Halloween] you had down there in your relocation center. Nothing happened here in our camp except I ima-


gined myself to be a Ghost when I was changing my sheet at night. "You do better go out covering your whole body with it" suggested a guy. I did cover, but did'ent [didn't] go out as an imitation ghost, too cold out side now, at night. Please best care yourself for my sake Dear. Remember me to Mrs. Misao, Ito, Mr. & Mrs. Seiji, Chikamura, Rev. Kodaira. This Saturday morning very busy Mayor's office.

LOVE Genji
