Popoff #31, Slocan, B. C., June 8, 1944.

Japanese Evacuation Section, 506 Royal Bank Bldg., Vancouver, B. C. Dear Sir:

I have received a letter concerning my property, which has been sold recently and I feel very sorry for it.

During the evacuation there had been weight limit on baggages and I left considerable personal property which they are very valuable to me. I would like to know what has been done to it and I will be looking forward for the reply.

I remain,

"Yone Hoyano"

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.
