Letter from Mantaro Kuga to Masuo Yasui, 1923
Summary
Digitized item from the Yasui Brothers business records, Mss 2949. The item, written in a pre-World War II Japanese script, is a letter from Mantaro Kuga to Masuo Yasui, dated 8 April 1923. In the letter Mantaro asks Masuo to review documents relating to the property lines on his apple orchard to resolve a dispute regarding property boundaries and to pay the other property owner, Mr. Early (likely Charles Early), if the trees which were cut down are found to be on Early's property. Mantaro mentions wanting to meet in person, but since he is in the middle of spraying, he asks Masuo to send the details to Mr. Early in his name in advance. The document includes an attached letter from Mr. Early to Mr. K. Kuga, dated 2 April 1923 and written in English, in which he states that the wood has been cut from his property and requests remittance. The Japanese letter has been translated into English and modern Japanese.
