Description
Letter from Fred Hoshiyama to Joseph R. Goodman: Dear Joe: Linc [Lincoln Kanai] wrote yesterday and reading between the lines he must have talked with you. He is trying to help from "free" America for those in "enslaved" America. It might be good idea for Joe Conard to let Rev. Robbin W. Barstow know exact address (203, Baker St.) of his working H.Q... Rev. Barstow who I understand is the head of the Student Relocation Program thinks it's still in one of his YMCA offices of S.F. I got 50 cents from Rosie Suyenaga. She wants me to send this $1.00 which I am enclosing for you to continue bringing in little bits of crackers, etc. for her youngsters (nieces-nephews). Mr. Sakai passed away Sunday AM. Too bad, but family expected it and were steeled for the inevitable. Over 36 births expected in 60 days. Hospital not adequate for serious operations. One worry is the fact that no word of patients condition except death call given when patients taken to outside hospital. Can't have decent wake here. Given short time only... lots of graft suspected (Canteen, commissary). Will be investigating - tell Geo. Shigekawa to work on it... Find out plans for large family groups who can't relocation. Robby got his notebook. Yours, Fred. Personal correspondence, organizational records, government documents, publications, and other papers created or collected by Joseph R. Goodman documenting the forced removal and incarceration of Japanese Americans during World War II, as well as organized resistance to incarceration. Included in the collection are records of the Japanese Young Men's Christian Association and the Japanese American Citizens' League in San Francisco, including papers of the Japanese YMCA's executive secretary Lincoln Kanai; Sakai family papers; Goodman's correspondence to and from Japanese American incarcerees, organizations opposing forced removal and incarceration of Japanese Americans, the War Relocation Authority, and others; publications, photographs, and ephemera from the Topaz Relocation Center, where Goodman taught high school; War Relocation Authority records and publications; and newspaper clippings, pamphlets, and reports about forced removal and incarceration created by various government, religious, and civic organizations, in California and nationwide.
