hing truly. He make me, he make Merrit San, he make
the beautiful love. Maybe some day that big God hear about Japanese
girl's heart of trouble and speak the peace.

To-day one long so busy day. Many silk must be sewed into fine kimono
for the when I go to live in other house. Sometimes I very glad I go
to other house. I make the many comforts of my mother and my father.

To-day I see the much cold in my father's body. Very soon he have nice
warm kimono with sheep's fur all inside. Then I make the glad heart, I
marry with Japanese man.

It is getting little cold, and every night the moon is so clear. These
day crickets are singing among the grasses. Those make me to think of
Merrit San more and more. This fall was quite changed to me. At first
Merrit San never come back to me as I expect in dreamy way. I have the
feel of very helpless and lonesome. Before, though I had some trouble
or unhappiness, if I saw Merrit San's smile everything was taken clear
away and my heart was full with cheer and happy.

Ah, Merrit San, though it makes my cheek red with hot to write the
speak, I love you most.

Buddha very naughty old god to say nothing truly is.

_Fourth Entry_

Ah, Merrit San, what you suppose I have dream last night? I was so
happy that I cannot tell with my tongue nor pen. That _you_ come back!
I could no word speak out with so much glad. I had many things to tell
you before I wake, but I could not even one thing.

You say you stay ten days. It is too short, but it far more better is
than half night. Oh, I wish so bad I did not wake up from dream!

I was tearful with much disappoint, then I remember that day you go to
big 'Merica you call back "God bless you, Yuki San," and with my heart
I make one soft prayer to Christians' God.

When big temple bell wake me up and all birds, my troublesome was more
light, and I make so big breakfast for my father and my mother, my
pocket began to tell the loneliness, and I could not perform all my
wishes.

When I write these letters Merrit San is far away at sea on the way of
his home. He will have joyful time. I wish I can see her, that girl
with the laugh in her eyes. Wonder how she thinks of Japan. Perhaps
she would think how small and lonely country and people. One girl in
that Japanese country very sad with lonely.

But Merrit San say: "Yuki San, you _good girl_, you be good wife." So
I make the try to put my lonely heart to sleep.
