Dear Sirs,
Having heard over the radio that the Japanese Fishing Fleet which at the present time
is under seizure by the Federal Government was to either be leased or sold to white
fisherman on the Pacific Coast.
I, am a returned man and have been doing some fishing in a small boat but would like
to procure a larger one for Cod Fishing say 30 or 34ft.
Will you be kind enough to furnish me with complete details the procedure necessary to become owner of one of these boats.
Thanking you, I, remain Yours very truly
L. Marquis,
Fulford Harbour, B. C.

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.
