Dear Mr. and Mrs. Hendersin,
Received the kind
letter the other day.
How are you folks getting
along? As for me I’m
fine. I came out from
Hospital the day we
left the camp. I was
in the hospital 23 days.
I was quarantin [sic] cause of
the measles.
I hope you folks
enjoyed the Christmas
and new year. I was
planning to go to your
place on Christmas day
but was in the

2

Hospital.
My sisters received the
gifts sent by Betty, Nancy
and Joanne. She told me
to give her sincerely [sic] thanks.
She was very glad and
appreciate it very much.
If I could get a for-
lough [sic] I’m planning to
visit you folks.
Sincerely
Thomas Higa
