Mr. Lian White [Redacted] Kokomo Indiana U.S.A.
Dear Lian
My name is Mika [Redacted]. I have known you since last winter. Then, I look up to you.
Why ---- !? Because ....... Even you can't go to school, you don't blame your friends, do you? You didn't reproach your friend's parents, did you? I think it's a shame the way they're treading you. If I were in your place, I would reproach them. That's where you are different from me. But I think it is usual. The Japanese are said childish.....

But you are younger than I am. You are a broad-minded person. Maybe it may be that I am a narrow-minded person. But..... While granting that you are right, I cannot do such a thing. These are why I respected you.
Lian, I assist you. Hang in there!
Medical science has made great advances recentry. Hand on to your hopes, my friend. That's an easy thing to say.
I have a dream which is to go to America. Of course, I'm going to go Hoosier State. ----- To begin with, I can see you.
My friends were saying, "Hold out! Lian" "We cheer you, Lian"
Please take care of yourself.
Your Japanese friend.
