Description
In this letter, Yukio Mochizuki asks Michi Weglyn permission to write to her friend Izumi Taniguchi of Fresno, California. He describes enclosed letters that he wrote to the Commanding Officer at Fort Bliss National Cemetery in Texas and a reply from the Superintendent. Neither of these letters are included in this item. The letters refer to the two victims whose remains were transferred to the Fort Bliss Cemetery and that there are no records available other than the three Japanese people who were "re-interned from the Lordsburg Camp." Mochizuki questions that the information about the two victims is perhaps being, "concealed because of the nature of the death of the two victims." Collection of notes, articles, correspondence, photographs, and term papers collected by Yukio Mochizuki, a student at CSU Dominguez Hills, while researching Japanese American incarceration and Japanese Peruvian internment during World War II.
