Dear Sir-
We are 3 families who are intending to settle in British Columbia. Buying 300 acres
from the Government. We are interested in the Commercial fishing on the coast and
the Commissioner of the B.C. Government Lands Bureau at Victoria B.C. gave me your
address so that I could write you direct and get the information. Would we be able
to buy one of the Japanese Fishing boats, that the Gov. has at B.C. What would the
price be for one. and would we be granted a commercial fishing license. Is it a
special license for salmon fishing around the mouth of the Fraser river.
We shall be glad to get any information on this subject or booklets.
Thanking you in advance
I remain Yours Truly
J.A. Wells.

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.
