DescriptionBlack and white woodblock print. Facing the viewer, an older woman is seated staring at a man seated across from her. The man, back facing the viewer, wears glasses and looks down reading a letter. In the background, there is a poster with an American flag, star, and "V," a pennant that reads "DENSON," and a framed photograph of a soldier, presumably their son. Out the window, there is a view of the mess hall with smoke coming out of the chimney. Signed H. Sugimoto. 49 copies.
