Dear Mollie:

I’m really sorry I did not write sooner. You see I’ve been working outside of camp, in Powell, Wy. That’s around 11 miles from Heart Mt.

I worked as a domestic helper. There were three in the family. Their name were Mr. Nelson, Mrs. Nelson and son, Dickie, he’ll be 3 yrs. old in Christmas. I cleaned house in the morning, washed dishes every meal.

There’s quite a few Japanese boys but there, so we all get together and have a jam session, or go to shows and other things. I’ve worked…

…out there for 5 months, but now I’m back in camp.

My sister (Chiyeko)’s but side in Kansas City, Missouri working too. She’s only been out 2 months now but she’s planning to stay out for ever. She’s very happy there.

Gosh, Mollie I quit school. And here you are graduated already. Did you have sweaters and rings, pins? I haven’t got any graduation pictures on programs, but I’ll send you pictures later on. Well, any news out there? I am working at the Property Central Office now. Well I guess I’ll close as I am very busy. I’ll hear from you.

Forever,

Miye
