Dear Yakashiro,

Thank you for your lovely postcard. I enjoyed reading about your uncle who was a great Japanese captain. I would love to see his uniform if I ever visit you.

In your postcard you wanted to know more about my background. I guess by sending you my family photographs and my biodata will do so. Yakashiro, for your information, my grandparents have ten children. Five of them are sons. My father is the third in the family. As you know there are also ten members in my family and I am the youngest. Because my parents have been away in Australia since last year, I stay with my uncle who is my father’s youngest brother. He has no children yet. My aunt who stays nearby always visits me and takes me out during the weekend with my cousins. I have more than thirty cousins.

Eleven of my cousins are married and have several children. These nephews and nieces of mine look Chinese because my grandfather is Chinese. He converted to Islam when he married my grandmother. My grandmother is the one with the walking stick. She is 87 years old and my grandfather is four years older than she is but they both are still healthy.

That’s all for now. In my next letter I shall tell you about my mother’s family. Please send me a photograph of your family.

Bye and best regards to you and your family. 

                                                                        Yours sincerely,

                                                                                        (Hamka  bin Mohd Yusof)
