Bob Hudson Posted April 8, 2020 Share #1 Posted April 8, 2020 This letter is from a Japanese girl to her Marine boyfried who is heading back home, without her. It is a sad letter: the last line being "I am very lonely" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jack the Collector Posted April 17, 2020 Share #4 Posted April 17, 2020 Bob, I was honestly gobsmacked when I first read this post.All I could type was what you saw.To some....maybe the majority of collectors,these items are merely cool stuff(am I being cynical?).These items of yours spoke volumes to me,become human not merely objects.

MattS Posted May 7, 2020 Share #6 Posted May 7, 2020 I'm sure this happened quite a lot. A US Marine being involved with a girl whose last name is Tojo must not have been very acceptable at the time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

She was able to write cursive English in 1946 Japan: I would imagine she was not an ordinary woman for that time and place. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
