Transcription:
May 4, 1942/Dear Miss Breed,/We have a libory now. But they just have magizines like Colliers, life, Radio Screen, and a few old-fashioned books. I think the best magizine is the Geographic magizine. I am reading Robinson Crusoe right now. I think it is very nice. Each person is allowed 4 books. I have 3 look magizines. The only thing I like about the are the quistions. (photoquiz) I always bring home at least 1 magizine because my mother likes to read them. Yesterday we took a walk around the race track, and it was very pretty. On one side, there are lost of pretty wild flowers. Day before yesterday I went after lunch to practice on the piano, but I left all my books in San Diego, so I couldn't play very goo. And I haven't played for a long time. Lots of new people have arrived in the last few days.
Yesterday and today it has been very hot. Yesterday was so hot, I thought I was on fire. Today it isnt so hot. yesterday I changed my clothes 3 times./ Say "Hello" to everybody for me./ Sincerely,/ Katherine Tasaki
