The letter reads:
John B. Show Esq.
Dear sir
Your letter of May 14th duly received. I am very glad to know that my painting is going to Boston where I have visited twice.
Perhaps you might have heard about the exhibition of Japanese watercolors in Boston Art Museum and in Art Club. I was an exhibitor together with friends of mine. It was in 1900. Few years later Doll and Richard had another exhibition of mine and my wife who was with me in 1904.
To hear "Boston" it always recall our pleasant visit and those friends who were so kind to us.
Now, I am in "Tomo" a most picturesque spot in Inland sea. It is very much like East Gloucester where I spent one summer sketching. If you are traveling somewhere near Kyoto you might come over here and see its old town, to understand country life in Japan, and to see the interesting place where very few forgners (sic.) had been.
Tomo is about seven miles from Fukuyama, a station on Sanyo line or take boat from Kobe.
The painting that you bought has been shipped care of H.S.B. no doubt you got it already. This picture has been painted in Shodo-shima an Island in Inland sea.
I do not find pen and ink just now. The pen tracks that I wrote is hard to read but this is all I can
With best wishes to you
Sincerely yours
Hiroshi Yoshida
