Suejiro Mori to Office of the Custodian of Enemy Property , 09 May 1944
Lemon Creek, Slocan, B. C.
May 9, 1944.
Sirs:
I received your letter again informing me of your intentions of selling my property.
As I stated in my last letter, I will not consent to the sale. If we should ever be
able to return there, that property and house is all we have to rely upon. On account
of old age we will be unable to work, should there be any chances of employment.
As you probably know, the rate of maintenance we get here is a pitiful amount. Therefore
I would like to hang on to my property, as it will assure me of a roof over our heads.
I would like you to know that I will not sell my property no matter how many times
you write to me.

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.
