Masuo begins the letter by mentioning some other correspondence and writes that he understands the requests in a letter he received.

He also expresses his disappointed that one of his brothers would not be present in Portland for a purchase of goods. Masuo reiterates his intention to work hard and addresses a number of business and financial matters. He ends the letter with an accounting of various amounts of money owed to or from a number of people.
