• 1940-10-21 (Creation)

A letter from Itoe Yasui, wife of Taiitsuro Yasui, to Renichi Fujimoto, dated October 21, 1940. In the letter Itoe writes that she has been grieving the recent death of her mother, but her spirits were lifted by a visit to Japan by their niece, Michi Yasui. Itoe recounts that Michi's visit was pleasant and that her presence is missed. Itoe thanks Renichi for a gift of woolen goods as well as his suggestion that she take a trip with some family members. She details her travels with her aunt and two cousins, which included visits to Osaka, Kyoto, Otsu, Nagoya, Tokyo, Uji Yamada City, Nara, and Kasaoka. She shares how much the trip cost, expresses regret for how expensive it was, and thanks Renichi and his wife Matsuyo for their kindness (her writing suggests that they had contributed funds for the trip).
