I received in the mail today a blurry photo of some flowers or weeds. On the back was an Irish stamp, my address, and nine lines of Japanese. I quickly deduced the sender to be my brother, even though he didn't know any Japanese last I checked. The following is my attempted transcription of the message using Apple's Japanese Kana Palette. I'm sure some letters are wrong, but they're the closest I could glean.
よ はようごぢいまよ, トレ-バ-さん!

づよーね、 きすつけて ね トレーバーさん!
ハーパー
Between Harper writing in Japanese, Trevor reading in Japanese, and Google translating from Japanese to English, the following tangle arises. Anyone have a better guess? If something would make more sense by changing a few lines in a character above, that's probably the right thing to do.
