My Dearest Katsu,

How are you? I believed well in the grace of God so I am busy everyday but feeling so sad since they left last Friday evening to Oklahoma [censored]. I am first Vice Mayor here but acting mayor like Mr. S. Kashio very gentle and new at office now. I wrote post card to Mr. Sawada yesterday by typewrite: "acknowledge his letter with my sincere gratitude and sorry closed proximity to him and church members also. I appreciate his high consideration and effort for welfare of you now confronted the grim problem of evacuation."

I am thirsty for your soul! My fresh [illegible] for you My Love! Just like in a dry and thirsty land where no water is but I have privilege to pray. Loving Father is living, you and I in ONE = 1. Apostles Creed "immortality of our Soul!" We must stand strong in this sorry plight. May be we going to move in near future? (Tell mistake TYPE Shunsaku to Shinsaku). I shall be very glad to stay or move to anywhere at any time if you accompany with me but I have no idea now. I learned platonic love but love attachment approached to my tender heart. Please don't worry I have masculine spirit and Lord's guidance. Last night we heard the thunder rolls, lightening and heavy rain. It makes us think their 1st night at Oklahoma. I pray you be healthy and stout of heart. I feeling secure by your loving letter. Received G.N. Times 4/9, 10, 11 now.

With love yours Genji
