Mrs. Yone Hoyano
Registration No. 14327,
Popoff Farms No, 31, Slocan, B. C. Dear Madam:
We are in receipt of your letter of June 8, 1944.
Your remarks have been carefully read and 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.
Regarding chattels, please be advised that under the policy of liquidation outlined by Ottawa all chattels are being sold by public auction and details of the sales will be made available as the sales take place.
Yours truly, Farm Department.

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.
