Keizo Fukumoto to Dept. of the Secretary of State, Office of the Custodian, 01 May 1944
Dept. of the Secretary of State,
506 Royal Bank Bdg.
Vancouver, B.C.
Dear Sir:
In your letter of April 13, 1944, you stated the sale price of my property, viz:
Part 20 acres of the W½ of the NE¼ of Sec. 14, Twp. 7 and part 5 acres more or less
of the W½ of the NE¼ of Sec. 14, Twp. 7, of the Municipality of Langley.
Between the Department and the Director, The Veterans' Land act to be $1267.00. If that is the price of the property and equipment left when we were moved out here
it covers only a part of the value. To build the 250 or so feet of chicken houses
of that size, alone, would easily cost that amount. So do not sell the property at
such a small sum.
Yours truly,

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.
