Toronto, Ontario.
Dear Sir:
Your letter was received May 15, 1944 and your remarks have been carefully read.
We can appreciate that the disposal of your property will be a matter of personal
concern. However, the sale of properties to the Director, The Veterans' Land Act was
carried out as a part of a policy of liquidation outlined by Ottawa on the basis of appraised values.
Your letter has been placed upon our files so that your comments in regard to this
sale will remain on record but we can only advise you that we are unable to consider
any alternative in regard to this matter.
In accordance with your request we have enclosed herewith a cheque in the amount of
$1400.00 pending the settlement of a small legal fee in connection with the conveyance of
your property. Upon the settlement of this account the balance will be torwarded to
you.
Enc. (cheque)
Credit balance - $51.00

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.
