Letter from Mrs. Harvey Marks to Andrew Mayeshiba, February 8, 1943

From this letter, we know that despite being incarcerated, Andrew was able to send Christmas cards to his friends back in Los Angeles. Andrew had apparently sent Mr. and Mrs. Marks the Heart Mountain Sentinel newspaper and asked them to send him some lamp cord and aerial wire. For those incarcerated Japanese Americans that had sympathetic Caucasian friends, maintaining contact with them was a way to get items sent to Heart Mountain.
