1942 5 5 Letter from Kay to Folks

A letter written by Kay Yamashita who is in Berkeley with her mother to the rest of her family in Tanforan "Assembly Center." She thanks her family and advises that she is leaving the next day by train for Denver and then will leave Denver. This is part of her travels to report to Washington D.C. for the treason trial in which Kay is a witness for the U.S. government. Mrs. Hunter, who is “active for us,” visited Kay. Ish and Osa (Isokawa) were married. Kay will see Dr. Smith and Kingman. Leila was awaiting them with “everything fixed.”
