Description:
Handwritten letter from Shigeo Motoike to [Afton] Nance, 1942 Aug 29.
August 29, 1942 Dear Mrs. Nance: My father sent us a telegram that he would come back, and he came back this morning,
and we are all happy. I thought my father was going to get skinny when he came back but he got fatter becaused he used to
work in the kitchen. The weather is getting cooler now-days and it is cold in the morning even if I doubled my blanket it
is still cold There is a canal about 2 miles away from here and I always go fishing there and once I hooked 30 fishes, and
there are lots of snapping turtles there too. The food is getting better now, first when we came here everybody didn’t get
any milk but there are 2 quarts of milk to each table now, and everythings getting better too. Sincerely Yours, Shigeo
Motoike
