  • Author / Creator:Anderson, Margaret.
  • Description:Less than 1 linear ft. 
  • Summary:Letters to Margaret Anderson from Japanese friends; most are from Fumiko Mitani Amatatsu who attended Mt. Holyoke College with Anderson. Amatatsu subsequently returned to Japan before the outbreak of the Second World War, and during the American Occupation after the war Anderson sent her relief packages. Amatatsu's written responses to Anderson's gifts chronicle both the hardships and joys of the Japanese people during that period. Some letters predate the Allied occupation of Japan. Enclosed in some of Amatatsu's letters are letters from other Japanese people who received Anderson's donations.
