Translation: 

"Dear Misawo (woman’s name) I hope Naotaka (man’s / boy's name) is also well.  Naotaka - Dad (referring to himself?) is also full of life too.  You can be rest assured that if the American and British demons come, I will cut them down with my katana.  One must not be afraid.  I have a pistol above my right hip too.  The weather’s going to get hotter from now, so please take care.  Farewell.  5th June."
