Description
A letter from Takao Seko in Long Beach, California to Kan Wada. Takao expresses his appreciation for Kan's wedding gift to his daughter and for the support from the Wada family members. The Sekos is a close friend to the Wadas in Japan and the U. S. The Sekos helped the Wadas to relocate from Terminal Island to Bakersfield, California after the attack on Pearl Harbor. It appears that the Seko family members in Japan have immigrated to the U.S. after the war and the Wada family has helped them to be settled. 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.
