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 wrote about the mail situation: He noticed that a letter dated on May 5 arrived on May 11 and asked whether his letters mailed to the Aloha Hotel arrived or not. He was allowed to mail only twice a week. He also informed of the arrival of Takino's package and wrote about the Santa Anita Assembly Center where 13,000 to 14,000 people would be incarcerated. He wrote that hearings at the Santa Fe Internment camp would be completed in 4 to 5 days and be reviewed in Washington, D.C.; breakfast at the camp was not pleasant since coffee did not contain enough sugar; and he would purchase milk and eggs from his saving occasionally. The letter was censored. 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.
