Description(3) page letter to Mas Iwate from Tatsumi Iwate at Camp Crowder, Missouri, on May 19, 1942. Tatsumi writes that he read Mas's letter the night before at the fire station, that he was woken up at 2AM for fire drill, that they don't know how to use him, a man of ability and talent in the camp as much as they are too blind to notice a genius like Mas in Santa Anita, that his idea is to show a few sketches and cartoons to show them to the old man, that he purchased a radio.
