If you can be evacuated with the car, since it has a big trunk you can pack it with things, and it would be a good idea to go to Salt Lake City.

Hello: I have received your letter of Mar 4 and am glad to hear you are in receipt of my letter in Japanese. I was glad when I read Yukiko’s letter in which she said Mr. Hoffman may buy your hotel. You are lucky have man like him among your roomers. Hope you will learn more how to drive car, but be careful for yourself too.

You buy more trunks and big boxes and try save more things and keep them Daishi church or place like that. If Mr. Hoffman will take care your place leave big things which you can pack them in the trunk or boxes. Be careful with driving automobile as you are not very good yet. If you have some body drive for you alright, otherwise you better not take it wherever you go.
