Scope and content

English translation of a postcard from Masuo Yasui in Portland, Oregon to Taiitsuro Yasui and Renichi Fujimoto in Willis (later renamed Glen), Montana postmarked January 24, 1906. In the message Masuo assures his brothers that he has placed an order for them from Hakubunkan - a Japanese publishing company. He also describes looking for suits and overcoats for them, but not being able to find appropriate suits. He asks whether they would like him to purchase overcoats first, or wait until he can purchase both items at the same time. In a postscript, Masuo notes the illustration of an apple blossom on the front of the card was painted by the daughter of the family he was working for as a houseboy. The card is addressed to Frank T. Yasui, which was a pseudonym the Yasui brothers adopted in their early years in the United States. The middle initial of this name indicates the brother, in this case "T" for Taiitsuro.
Translation Note: This document is also available as the original manuscript document and as a modern Japanese translation.
