Description
A letter from Hiroji Hosaka to Takino and Teruo Hosaka. It was mailed from the Santa Fe Internment camp where he had been detained. He informed that about 20 internees would be transferred to the Santa Anita Assembly Center soon and one of them was his cell mate, Mr. Kumataro Iguchi. He assumed that Mr. Kumataro could give them updates on him. He also needed to know if Teruo needed anything from New Mexico so that he would be able to purchase it when he leaves the Santa Fe Internment camp. He informed that he had not seen any mails from them and wondered if there were limits for outgoing mails from the Santa Anita Assembly Center or if they were doing well. He wrote about the economic loss that the Japanese American community had faced. Some information was redacted. Hiroji Hosaka Family Letters consists of correspondence between Hiroji Hosaka and his family and friends while he was imprisoned in the Santa Fe Detention Station, the Santa Anita Assembly Center, and the Heart Mountain incarceration camp during World War II. Also included are prewar photographs of the Daiichi Rafu Gakuen, that is, a Japanese language school in Los Angeles, and Japanese archery, a photograph of the Heart Mountain camp, and his business cards prior to the war.
