Personal letter expresses appreciation for Salzman's correspondence and mentions needing to take care of "another bloody nose"; it also describes fond memories of having attended football games during her "Glendale Hi and J.C. days," and notes that baseball and ping-pong are popular sports at Manzanar. Nagahama asks about Salzman and other women's work at Lockheed and about a friend's marriage and studies at UCLA, and mentions Honey [Toda] and a visit by several friends at camp; the friends had secured a permit for only one hour. She also states that she is in a teacher training program for nursery school, and describes activities associated with preparing for classes when the school opens later in the month. 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.
