Torashichi Endo and Hisa Endo to Mr. F G Shears, 19 April 1944

File No. 9363 & 9364
Tashme, B.C.
April 19, 1944.
Mr. F G Shears 506 Royal Bank Building,Vancouver, B.C. Dear Sir:
Re: Your letter of April 14th inst., re: Block 2 and 8 and 11 of Block "A" of lot 165, group 3, Map 2632, District of New Westminster, Municipality of Mission, C. of E. 49977 , which was sold for $2001.00, we are sadly disappointed in the sale price. The building had cost us more than $3000.00. After 26 years of hardship, in 1941, the revenue was $5,000.00. Therefore, we wish to state that the sale price was most unfair
Yours truly,
(Signed)

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.
