Taylor Lake Siding, Town P. O., B. C. June 5, 1944.
Mr. F G Shears Director,
Dept. of Secretary of State,
Vancouver, B. C. Dear Sir:
I was not previously advised of the sale of my brother's and my property so there is one thing I wish to be made clear.
I consider the price of $3088.00 quite fair if it is for the property only, although my brother and I have no intention of selling the property.
If this amount includes the greenhouses and the buildings, I think this price is absolutely ridiculous. I can furnish you with almost exact amount my brother and I spent in building those greenhouses so will you please let me know if the price of $3088.00 is for property only or if it includes greenhouses and other buildings.
Yours truly,
Jiro Kosaka Reg No. 02868

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.
