Description1 letter written on a 3-ring lined composition paper to Kotaro from Koh on June 20, 1942. Koh writes from Fort Missoula saying that he is O.K., his hearing ended on the 18th, helped a gentleman whose name is crossed out and received new clothes in return, asks about Kotaro's choice of college and if he has money for school, and to tell mother that someone she knows is safely interned at a Texas camp. Two names are crossed out in white out.

On the lower left of letter, a hard to read purple square stamp reads "DETENTION ALIEN, ENEMY MAIL, EXAMINED, BY 24-2, U.S.A. & N.S."
