Dear Molly,
Thank you very much for your note. I am all right now, but so far, I've been ill for four days here. It's from the food, but the food is getting better.
Don't work too hard to end the semester! I really feel like a dope for not going to school. I miss it, believe it or not.
Glad to hear "Cotton Day" was a success.
Sa-yo-nara is written. Don't forget it, now. Please write again.
Very sincerely,
Tomoko Ikeda
