DescriptionLetter from John (Sohei) Hohri to Harold Landon, dated June 28, 1942. John writes asking Harold what his plans are since he graduated high school. He writes about his activities in Manzanar, working in a camouflage factory, teaching a Sunday school class, and attending 12th grade in September. He comments about how he had to miss Harold at the city finals because of being in camp, and talks about how he received a copy of the Chieftain from Donald Lindsey and didn't see Harold on the varsity track team. He references James 1:17 and urges him to write him back. The last page includes a large drawing of John punching Harold with the caption, "I AM MAD!!! WRITE!!"
