Dear Miss Blake,

I am sending you my Sugar Ration Book. I have forgotten to give it back to the local board when I left Princeton. Please do me a favor by returning this card to the place where it should go.

I am still staying at New York waiting for the sailing of my boat. (my address is Hotel Pennsylvania, 3rd floor Room 325). I am entirely cut off from the outside world, and I do not know when my boat will sail.

Best regards to everybody in Fuld Hall. I shall and will come back again.

Yours sincerely,

Shizuo Kakutani
