HH: And, let's see. When you first arrived in Philadelphia, what kind of resources did you have at that time? Did the government give you money to make the adjustment?

HU: Well, when I was going out to Philadelphia from the Rohwer relocation center, they give you twenty-five dollars and they paid your train fare, and I don't know what the train fare was. And we landed here in the train station. I don't remember whether the hostel still was there, but there was a WRA office here, you know, the War Relocation office that had been established. We went there and they would give you some indication of where you might find apartments to rent or possible employment.

HH: Are you saying that when you came to Philadelphia you had your train fare and twenty-five dollars and that was it?

HU: Well, that's what the government took care of, that's right.

HH: But you may have brought some of your own money besides that.

HU: Yeah, I don't remember how much money I brought or probably had only one suitcase of clothes.

HH: Did you have any idea of what you would do if you happened to, in some kind of crisis as far as help was concerned, became ill or something?

HU: No, I had no idea what I would have done if I had gotten ill at the time. [Laughs]
