Description
A letter from Masayo Hasegawa in Neyagawa, Osaka, Japan to Kan Wada. She informs Kan that Kan's letter arrived and she is delighted to hear that Kan shipped a package to Masayo, enclosing the medicines and clothes. Kan's support has helped Masayo to raise her children and make a living in Japan. The letter includes updates on her family: Masayo's family is trying to save 50,000 yen to get a loan sponsored by the Japanese government. Yoshio's wedding will be held in March in the next year. She informs Kan that she shipped a package to Kan, enclosing Japanese medicines for stomach pain, which cost 350 yen per each bottle. She also asks Kan not to enclose food in the package since food is confiscated during the shipping process. Page 3 is missing.
