Dear Molly,
[Writing in Japanese on left side of paper]
Okay pal, how goes, able to read it? Well-"yogore" means- well-you know- a guy with drapes, and etc. "Abunai" means dangerous.
Gee, would have written sooner-but I got the measles. Doc says I can't use my eyes for awhile. Still in a semi-dark room. Been in a dark room for a couple of days. Really maddening.
Sandie was here last month swell kid-she's certainly pretty-always was a cute kid, wasn't she? She left for Oberlin College, in Oberlin, Ohio last Sunday. When next we meet, she'll probably be married with so many kids, né?
Have you heard from Kenn is he? I have a couple of very good friends now in Italy. Remember, Kawabata? He volunteered for the last year. I suppose he's overseas. How is Doris, Albert, and etc. Kind my regards to them won't you?
Should write a decent letter my eyes says "no go" so will be signing off for now.
Won't be able to mail this letter until Saturday-when I make it to the outside world again.
Believe me it's hectic being in a darkened room.
Write soon, won't you?
Love,
June Yoshigai
