I have a copy of Voucher for Per Diem issued to my Father Tom Matsubara dated August 1943. A copy of War Relocation Authority dated September 1944. War Relocation Authority Notice of Decision on Application for Leave August 1944. A March 17, 1944 copy of Colorado River Relocation Project, Poston, AZ. Testimony of Tom Matsubara and Bill Honda regarding conditions at Lewes, Deleware relocation project. A few other copies of letters from the Farmer and my father. Is any of this type of material of interest to the restoration artifact committee?
