Morning, not night!

Dear Joe, Tor,

Here it is today, Sunday and it is a good, bright sunny day.

I haven't anything to do so I am thinking of nothing but loafing.

In your letter you mentioned nothing of that Nishizawa boy. How do you guys like the guy? Is he one of those phoogy kind of jerks?

Gee Tor, your birthday is going to be on labor day this time. Even though its war time, labor day is not a holiday but just forget about work and rest and think it's your birthday. You know what, Joe might even make you a birthday cake. Maybe I should say a rock cake with rock candy on it instead of a birthday cake. Well, anyway, "HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO YOU."

Masako, your sis!

Don't faint when you see this dirty card.

P.S. Don't feel embarrassed when this card comes slightly dirty, huh.

P.S. Running out of post cards, stationery, stamps etc!

P.S. I am using the card that you scribbled on when you came here to camp.
