Description7-page letter written on recto and verso, with envelope, by Paul Yoshida to Tatsumi Iwate on March 3, 1942 from Camp Hale, Colorado. Pat writes about not having time on furlough and writing to Tatsumi before he leaves camp, getting disgusted with his life, mentions Takagi, Sugimoto, and Obata, drafting nisei in camp would not be OK, to release everyone in camp, that Obata said hello and to not fool around too much, seeing the doctor and receiving a shot, that he heard the WRA will close Jerome camp soon, to take a furlough and go to Amache this month.
