Personal letter describing Nagahama's experience thus far at the National Training School, where she is studying to become a kindergarten teacher, and her appreciation of hearing about their "gang" of friends. Nagahama gives news of Hideo [Watanabe] and mentions that Honey [Toda] is now working as an administrative assistant at the University of Maryland and will be visiting upon returning from a trip to the "Manzanar Relocation Center." She also encourages Salzman to resume her college studies, saying that a college education will prove more beneficial after the war than if Salzman were to continue on with Lockheed as an instrument technician. The Manzanar Collection features materials relating to the forced relocation to Manzanar, California, of Miriko Nagahama and Honey Mitsuye Toda, including correspondence, photographs, and newspapers, donated in 1981 and 1995.
