Thanks McFarling for his positive response to Hoshimiya's request for a reference (see letter to McFarling dated November 1, 1945); states that people who had been at the Granada (Amache) incarceration camp have gratitude to and fond memories of McFarling; and notes that McFarling is continuing to help Japanese people at his current location in Seattle. The letter also describes the Toshimiya family's life since their release from Amache, including Hoshimiya's efforts to secure teaching jobs and a possible move from their current home in Ann Arbor, Michigan to Los Angeles.
