Scope and Contents
Correspondence consists of seven letters to Farr from Japanese American friends from
California incarcerated at assembly centers and incarceration camps during World War II.
Most of the letters are from Eiko Fujii, beginning shortly after her arrival at Santa
Anita Assembly Center in 1942, continuing through her transfer to Denson, Arkansas, at
Jerome Incarceration Camp, and ending after she left the camps and held a teaching
position at the university in Ann Arbor, Michigan. The letters discuss daily life in the
camps and her family's physical, psychological, and emotional adjustment to life there;
as well as references to Farr's personal and professional life. Includes an undated
piece of ephemera containing a printed message to Japanese Americans from the Reedley
Committee on National Security and Fair Play, and a copy of the Japanese American
Citizens League Reporter newspaper, of Salt Lake City, Utah, v. 1 no. 11, Nov. 1945.
