Dear My Katsuno:-

Received your 8th letter on Friday. I love to know that your are enjoying good health in spite of cold such the snow or hailing there. Hope you are keep out the cold shall becoming severe. I am very well with friends in office and in the dormitory. You have the piano in the church service now. We have too, but not piano player yet. Shall I play it? I guess not. I am only DoReMi striker as you know. I will be discreet it.

I congratulation to Rev. N. Kodaira and Miss S. Ochi, their happy marriage of perfect well matched couple. Regrets I can not attend the celebration "in person" myself. You will send them a present by our name, of course. You got sackful of kindling which abandoned by the carpenters from Mrs. Ito said. Learned Mr. Chusaburo are very well.

We had splendid service yesterday morning at nine. And I talked with uncle, afternoon.

The "Story teller" (Kodan) seems to be very popular here. The Fans will come back to barrack after listening to him at night and the following dialogue will ensue among the barrack inmates. "Did the ugly woman got married to Utanosuke to-night?" "Sure she did, Kato Kiyomasa was the go-between you know." "I don't think Koyuki was so ugly as she was thought to be don't you think?" "Perhaps the story teller was exaggerating I guess." "May be she didn't look so ugly when she was covering her face with a cloth I hear." "That right." I hope you will hear too.

With love

Sincerely Yours Genji
