February 7, 1951
Mother, I have received your letter. I am really glad that you are still well, as you said. As for me, I am the same, still healthy from day to day.
Mother, you were asking what to do with the left-over billfolds that you have. This old man left his belongings to a young man in here, that is, all his valuables that he had when he was living in here. We made an agreement. I will keep both of them [the billfolds]. Give them to We-gi and give her $8.00. That’s how much I need. Send it soon. She should keep the billfolds. We can sell them when I get back. Yes, there was someone alive who can do what I did, tear up the school. Ha! Ha! Ok, Mother, take them to my house, the ones that are left. Send $8.00. This is his name that is written. Write it like this when you send it to this boy’s name. [The line with the boy’s name was cut out. Perhaps by prison personnel.]
Ok, there’s not much to talk about. Thought I would quickly say hello to all my family “Hello” from afar and just by mail. This was written for me A-ma, just as I said.
Ge-yu-ne-ga, I am A-li-s-da-wa-di (a name), I don’t have much time to write tonight. The boys have hired me to make their envelopes beautiful. I will write to you when I have more time. I appreciate it very much that you included a little for me to read [in your letter]. I greet you all with love, “Hello, everyone.”
