March 7, 1943 entry Item Info
March 7 (Sunday)
Weather report said the temperature would go down to 12 degrees, and it sure is cold. It is crazy weather. I was so surprised to find out that the story about the major yesterday was completely false. It was just a made-up rumor.
Those who are scheduled to be transferred to the family center are still having a hard time in making the final decision. That is because they do not know how restrictive it will be for their family and what type of status their children will be assigned. They got together and had a discussion, and decided to send their inquiry to the central government through the camp authorities. The submission has been completed. The camp administration offered immediate answers to some questions. They responded that there is no age limit for the family members to be transferred to the family center regardless of the sex. They also said that it is not known if the traveling cost will be covered by the administration or by themselves. It is hard to understand.
I am having some digestive system problems, and it has been extremely uncomfortable since yesterday. I have not had bowel movements even though I went to the bathroom three times yesterday and twice today.

I feel cold in my abdomen and feel slight discomfort. It helps to lay down in the bed. I had regular breakfast, and Mr. Kosaki Sasaki is king enough to bring bread, cheese and milk for both lunch and dinner for me.
