O.K.

Dear Mr. Kuniyoshi,

Thank you very much for sending our room a copy of your oil painting, "I am tired" This picture was magnificent so we all know the one you made must has been more beautiful yet.

Our room is going to have an assembly for the whole school and read them our outline about you and the outstanding things you have done or what you are doing what makes you worthwhile. We also are going to read them your letter and show them your picture and present it to Sheldon School.

We were very surprised to hear that you didn't have any children and that as long as you live here you can never become an American citizen and it made us all fell very sorry.

Sincerely,
Joanne [[Hiemitre?]]

P.S. Mrs. Johnson our teacher showed us your picture and I don't think you look about 51. To me you look about 30 years old.

P.S. That girl on the top is saluting the American flag.
