A Spokane Pearl Harbor survivor kept a letter he found while he was serving in Okinawa in the 1940s for more than 70 years.

The late veteran’s family wanted the public’s help in June of 2014 to help find the letter’s original owner.

Warren Schott, found the four-page letter with a flag inside the walls of an Okinawa home at the end of the war.

The veteran’s widow, Betty, found the pages in 2013 and the couple determined they belonged to someone else. Schott’s wife was more determined than ever to find the owner after Schott died in May of 2014.

Betty Schott sent the letter to Mukogawa Fort Wright Institute where students translated the letter. Japanese Cultural Center staff reached out to media outlets overseas but did not have any luck.

The letter depicts a Japanese soldier, Tatsumasa, writing to his wife in a town calls Kohatsu. Tatsumasa was in southern Japan, about 600 miles from Kohatsu, according to the letter.

"Even I am a father of three children, eating is the only pleasure I have in the life of the army... Thinking of you makes me yearn for you and my family. I miss you so much... .”

Betty Schott was asking for the public’s help in June to find the letter’s rightful owner.
