Correspondence from Miriko Nagahama to Betty Salzman, November 11, 1943

Personal letter describes being too busy to write and thanks Salzman for photographs "of the girls" mentioning that Nagahama feels nostalgic when she views them. Nagahama notes her efforts to educate herself as a kindergarten teacher and that she cannot quit the job because the Education Department told teachers that, if they were to quit, they would be "blacklisted and another job will be difficult if not impossible to obtain"; she also mentions the possibility of relocation, and that she has heard from Honey [Toda], who is attending the University of Maryland. Further discusses open houses for Inyo-Mono County residents and teachers, during which products and produce from Manzanar are featured, and that visitors have been impressed with "what has been done and is being accomplished here."
