Description
Letter from Fred Hoshiyama to Joseph R. Goodman, written from Tanforan Assembly Center: Dear Joe: I mentioned about Mr. Numajiri's check and may I ask you to bring either the uncashed check or if you can cash it, the total amount. He got the candy sent and if you see Lincoln (about $12.00) you can give him what is due him. No particular hurry, but he just wanted to be sure it will be safe. Mr. Blosser brought P.A. system in. Still one connection box left. I will ask Thompson to pick it up. If there's some way to get this please see about it. Ping Pong table at San Lorenzo nursery, Rt. 1 Bx 21 to Mr. S. Parme. Letter already sent notifying him. We need pianos - Did the Palo Alto Church piano come in yet? Education starting - Henry Tani working on it - Possibly will be principal. Keep up your worthy efforts. We need your help and deeply appreciate it. Hope to see you soon. Yours ever, Fred H.
