Dear Sir.
There are a lot of rumors that the Jap fish boats are going to be sold!. I would like
to get one if this is true. The one I have is not much good. The only thing that
keeps me out of the navy is a bum leg- I have a brother there. If I could get a 30
or 32 foot with a 7 bore or 2 cylinder motor and pay it off at $25.00 a month. Don’t
you think the payments too small?

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.
