Dear My Katsuno:-

This is Washington's birth day today. I respects to our greatest Father. I have a coloured [colored] picture of him "Beginning of the American Union" George Washington salutes the Flag as he takes command of the continental Army at Cambridge 1775.

How are you deary? all right! I am well and too busy at my Governor's office. I am planning to retire present office Governor myself. And give to be promotion chance to my vice-governor next term. It is most complicated service, what I am doing now. We have decided 3 months limited time for prevent of our overwork. I need a little recess for brains as you can good guess. I take care and look after the group company long time since Missoula after parted you. Now I take little vacation? Gradually I prepare to unite with you dear at new family center. Here is many educated trained men but, one is of no use unless one has been buffeted by the world or public and also of high virtue.

How is Arthur & Fumi? I think his mind took a new turn after they set up new house-keeping for the present. Roy does not like live with Seiji, Kakuno. Let him alone or ask to Mr. Okada to look after him a while, if he will do. It has gotten warm all of a sudden, it is like summer, I don't know why it is getting suddenly warm. You see, this is our first winter here, don't know what to expect.

LOVE

Your husband Genji
