Mr. Paul Dunn
Pike Place Market Historical Commission

Seattle, Washington 98104
Dear Mr. Dunn:
I am writing to support the installation of the Aki Sogabe murals portraying the role of Japanese American farmers at Pike Place Market prior to World War Il. Such a depiction will provide to the market's many visitors an easily understood account of the important contributions made by Japanese American farmers, and fill an important gap in the history of this cherished Seattle landmark.
Sincerely
Esther H. Mumford
