Abstract
Letter from Masuo Yasui (1886-1957) to Sagoro Asai (1880-1969), written in Japanese shortly after Yasui's release from incarceration. Yasui and Asai emigrated from Japan and resided in Hood River, Oregon. Yasui owned a general store, and both operated orchards. The U.S. government accused Yasui of disloyalty after the bombing of Pearl Harbor, and incarcerated him from 1941 to 1946.
