Seven letters to Farr from Japanese-American friends from Calif. interned at assembly centers and relocation camps during World War II. Most of the letters are from Eiko Fujii, beginning shortly after her arrival at what seems to have been Tanforan Assembly Center, in 1942, continuing through her transfer to Denson, Ark., probably at Jerome Relocation Center, and ending after she left the camps and held a teaching position at the university in Ann Arbor, Mich. 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 JACL Reporter newspaper, of Salt Lake City, Utah, v. 1 no. 11, Nov. 1945.
