Postcard to Clara Breed from Margaret Arakawa, Poston, Arizona, August 29, 1942

Margaret taught fourth grade while at camp, and was one of the first of Breed's "children" to write to her when she arrived at camp.

Poston, Arizona/Aug. 29, 1942/Dear Miss Breed!/We were evacuated in the first move from Santa Anita to Camp III Poston Arizona which is 23 miles from Parker. We left last Wed Aug 26 at 8:30 and arrived here the next day at 3:30. Now the whole San Diego county has been reunited here. Everything is just fine all except for the dust. The heat is around 100 and little over. But I am used of this from Santa Anita./I have not heard from Miss Fay so I presume she is on her way to the Pacific coast. She wanted so much to comes and see me at the end of Aug at Santa Anita but now I am too far. Miss Breed thanks a lot for the past + best wishes to you. Sincerely, Margaret
