Dear Sir:
I am writing you with the hopes that you will furnish me with the information I desire.
I am a discharged member of the present forces and owing to my state of health I desire
to seek other forms of work as my present occupation bothers me.
First I would like to know if there are still any boats formerly owned by the Japanese
for sale and the price of the same.
Second could you give me the record of the pack for the previous ten years also the
water conditions with regards to spawning also your estimate of the next few years pack in accordance with this years run.
Is it possible for one who is ignorant of the business that you pursue find employment
with you and learn the trade.
Hoping you will oblige
Yours truly.
H Haigh

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.
