43. Mr. Fujita's Mother
In December 1936 the Guardian cabled Miss Alexander to visit Mr. Saichiro
Fujita's mother who was ill. Mr. Fujita was residing in the Holy Land and he
had not seen his mother for two years. The Fujita family lived in Yamaguchi
Prefecture which was an 18-hour trip from Tokyo. By the time Miss Alexander
arrived there the mother had recovered. It was a great joy for Miss Alexander
to be with the family and they all posed for a photograph to send to Mr.
Fujita.

rice shop.
