Dear Molly–

如何ですか. 長い間手紙を書きませんで. 御免下さいませ.

Okay pal– how goes, able to read it? Well—“yogore” means- well –you know –a guy with drapes, and etc. “Abunai” means dangerous.

Gee, would have written sooner –but I got the measles. Doc says I can’t use my eyes for awhile. Still in a semi-dark room. Been in a dark room for a couple of days. Really maddening.

Sandie was here last month swell kid –she’s certainly pretty –always was a cute kid, wasn’t she? She left for Oberlin College – in Oberlin, Ohio last Sunday. When next we meet, she’ll probably be married…

…with so many kids, né?

Have you heard from Kenny? How is he? I have a couple of very good friends now in Italy. Remember Joe Kawabata? He volunteered for the army last year. I suppose he’s overseas. How is Doris, Albert, and etc. Kind my regards to them won’t you?

Should write a decent letter my eyes says “no go” –so will be signing off for now.

Won’t be able to mail this letter until Saturday —when I make my debut to the outside world again.

Believe me it’s hectic being in a darkened room–

Write soon, won’t you?

Love,

June Yoshigai
