Box 175, Powell River, B.C. January 16, 1942

Deputy Minister of Fisheries,

Victoria, B.C.,

Dear Sir,

Having heard that the Japanese fishing boats are to be either leased or sold, I am writing to ask for information, especially in regard to the leasing or buying of a Cod Fishing Boat. If you are unable to give me this information, I would appreciate your forwarding this letter to the proper authorities.

Thanking you

Yours very truly

Roy L. Padgett

Terminology

Readers of these historical materials will encounter derogatory references to Japanese Canadians and euphemisms used to obscure the intent and impacts of the internment and dispossession. While these are important realities of the history, the Landscapes of Injustice Research Collective urges users to carefully consider their own terminological choices in writing and speaking about this topic today as we confront past injustice.
