DescriptionOne page typed letter written to Mary Misao Fujii in Tule Lake Concentration Camp from her husband, George Shichitaro Fujii, in Fort Lincoln Internment Camp on July 20, 1942. George writes about his family's health, lack of hope that the family will be reuniting any time soon because he is a treaty merchant and their incarceration is a fixed policy, remaining friends with other Americans despite his treatment, living for the happiness of his wife and children, and willing to sacrifice anything for his wife.

On the lower left of letter, a hard to read purple square stamp reads "DETENTION ALIEN, ENEMY MAIL, EXAMINED, BY ...., U.S.A. & N.S."

Support the understanding and appreciation of the Japanese American experience.
