At Myoshinge in this city yesterday they made a large sale privately which is causing much talk today. Coho the buyer was is unknown. I would liked to have had a chance, but the authorities would not let me. As a consolidation they told me they would soon sell some more of a famous set of Rakans of which I already possess two. The meaning of all these and other doings mystifies me. The Japs are beyond my understanding - the more I see of them the less I know them.
