Dear Joe,

I have been unable to mail this letter because of no stamps but I'll mail it today.

You said you didn't need the wool things didn't you. Well if they are in that canvas army bag we sent to you please take out all of the wool things & air them in the house for 3 days and put them back in with mothballs. This will keep them moth from eating the good wool fabric. This is from Mama to keep your clothes in good condition.

Write again some other time. Thanks for todays letter

Don't Hang them outside because the soot with get on them.

Masako & Mama
