Dear Joe,

It sure has been hot lately and I looked at the thermometer in the Odahara's place and it was 102 degrees and that was pretty hot. Hows the weather up there?

This week has just flew by and the days are really hot and all I do is to sit in the shade and write letters or sit and read.

Pops foot is all well and he has been well for a long time and is very happy that he has no more athletes foot. The medicine has been very good and the athletes foot was all well with in two or three weeks.

Towru is now working for eight hours and he is hauling the rocks around in the tofu factorie.

Did you for get about pops drills, for his drill?

so long now. masako
