On verso, is a typed letter from George to Mary, dated April 1, 1942. George writes about Mary's mumps, to be careful when working in the plant, how someone they know passed away working too hard leaving a 6-year old motherless while the father was interned with George, for Mary to take care of herself, as well as evacuation and registering with the JACL so they can leave as a group.
A purple stamp reads "DETENTION ALIEN, ENEMY MAIL, EXAMINED, BY ...., U.S.A. & N.S." on both recto and verso.
