Letter from Yuki Akaki, Staff Sergeant, United States Army, to Miss Hatsume Akaki, May 31, 1944

Akaki writes from “Somewhere in Italy” – he is not allowed to disclose their location due to military regulation. He describes the weather in Italy, and about the Italian natives who try to barter with the American soldiers for cigarettes and matches. He offers his opinion about the death of his friend, George Anne. A few words are redacted at the end of the letter.
