Dear Sir:
There are quite a number of fishermen in the Monterey Harbor who are anxious to obtain
small diesel boats 40 ft. to 60 ft. in length, and with 60 to 100 H.P. engines, according
to the size of the boat.
We don’t know if you have any of those Japanese boats for sale or not, and would be
willing to sell them to the fishermen here in the States, but if you do have any for
sale, will you be good enough to communicate with us as we can pass the word along
to the fishermen who are looking for the boats, and would be glad to go up there and
arrange for purchasing them.
Thanking you for your prompt answer, we are
Very truly yours,
HOVDEN FOOD PRODUCTS CORP.
K Hovden
President

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.
