Description
A customer's receipt for an international money order issued by U.S. Postal Service. Purchased by Joe Wada and Seiichi Honda for their condolences to Tae Wada in Taiji-cho, Wakayama, Japan for the passing of her husband, Shohachi Wada.
Tomoji Wada was an interpreter, bookkeeper, operator of a grocery store, and manufacturer of tofu and mochi on Terminal Island, California prior to World War II. He established a tofu manufacturing plant at the Poston camp in Arizona during the war, and became a gardener after returning from the incarceration camp to Los Angeles, California. The collection consists of receipts, ledgers, taxes, correspondence, photographs, scrapbooks, journals, guidebooks, immigration materials, and incarceration camp records pertaining to Tomoji Wada and his family. Materials include born-digital objects created and transferred from the donor.
