Transcription: Ohazahicho Ikenouchi 6 Kyoto Apr. 23 1916 Dear Beaver, We have enjoyed your birthday very much! Being Easter we celebrated with 2 cuning [cunning] white rabbits in a bamboo cage for [June?]. They are quite an ornament to an already adorable garden. Do have a Japanese garden sent you with your next order of shirts! You would love shooting the rapids in these funny flexible boats, which Viscount Kaneko told us made him think of buckboards in Maine! We are settled in a dream of a Japanese house, living in �proper� style. Love to you all Duchess Mr. & Mrs. Charles B. Atwater 36 W. 93d St New York City N.Y. U.S.A. Show less
