CORRESPONDENCE

Scope and Content of Series

SERIES 1) CORRESPONDENCE. Arranged in two subseries: A) Family Correspondence and B) General Correspondence. The Family Correspondence contains letters from Itano's father, mother, sister Edith and younger brother Masashi.

The General Correspondence contains letters from professors, classmates and friends. Several letters detail attempts to have Itano return to school.
