Letter from Kathleen Cornwall to Andrew Mayeshiba, March 2, 1943

From this letter, we know that Andrew's father had been a gardener in Los Angeles and is now working at a mess hall in Heart Mountain. Cornwall is a sympathetic friend, and writes "Many of us wish, and I think there is a plan under way, that our good Japanese neighbors could be released." In fact, there was no U.S. Government accepted plan to release Japanese American incarcerees in March of 1943.
