DescriptionLetter from John (Sohei) Hohri to Harold Landon, dated January 27, 1942. John writes asking Harold to to send a subscription to the Warrior, and has enclosed a dollar for him to do so. He congratulates Harold on an all-A's report card with a caricature drawing of Harold and "JP." He also makes reference to University High School in Los Angeles, wishing he were there with Harold. The second page is filled with drawings titled "Memories of UNIHI." The drawings consist of a student pole vaulting, wrestling, participating in gymnastics, and being given the evil eye by his teacher in civics class. John draws a small boy in an Emerson Grizzlies t-shirt holding a football, and another student in a letterman sweater holding a football and rushing for a touchdown. The page is written in all capital letters with drawings illustrating his question: "What have you been doing to occupy yourself with?" John writes at the bottom of the page "Write! Pulleeeze HUH" in large letters.
