My Dearest Katsu:

How are you? Am well and put my things in order. I am all right but awffully [awfully] anxious about you, compassionate very much Deary. Just praying and Bible, please read dairy [daily] each Chapter. I read to-day psalm [censored] will finish July 8th and will start new testament keep it until this war is over. I pray always for you anywhere I am, to live in peace and happiness. I say nothing but God knows everything perfect. The Bible is my treasure and you are my sunshine as keep warm my heart, brighten my soul even from far distance. I will send you a box full rocks which I polished while detain here. One of them is conjugal stone I named 2 in 1, front as I back as you, I made for lovely letter weight. Another one is the fossil of tree on length and stand rock is width of petrified tree. Make a good pair or a set. One is old hammer head of Ancient stone age I think. Will you repolish with flannel and just slightly stroke above them with your own hand. Please comply with my greatest request and depend you to look after boys special in my absence. You appear dimly before my eye often and stay behind of my eyelids, take comfort myself.

Yesterday Buddhists hold service they have 3 priests now. I learn several hundred Japanese coming to Montana sugar beets from Puyallup to relieve the labor shortage, wish Arthur get the job.

Give my best regards to Mrs. Yoriaki, Kinjiro, happy with old man. I guess the fortune will turn round in rotation, keep the hope to God. Dreamed you have baby on your knee, come true?

With love

Yours Genji
