My Dearest Katsu:

How are you deary? Don't you tired yet your job? I hope not. I am well and enjoy in dairy [daily] life as usual. Today hot like Seattle summer. Friend give us some ice-cream this afternoon. Its for a long time, we drink only a bottle of soda pop for farewell. Glad heard Thomas in home [censored] Fife man probably you know his son Toru used work as young Minister in M.E. Church Seattle who live in Area B Camp Harmony will call week. I recall to memory of Capital Hill often, special on decoration week. Did you asked some one to take care the Grave as our proxy? Its great privilege to revere elder as my brother, dear! Understood? I reading Bible and Signs of the Times: "Keep your life simple. Be on strict guard against subtle influences of men and society to lead you away from the simple life. Keep your life simple in a big strong sense. True simplicity is free from self seeking and selfishness. It manifests itself in a sincere and straightforward attitude towards others."

Did you save the picture, April thirtyith [thirtieth] the Tacoma News Tribune?
