We are in receipt of your letter of July 14, 1944. This has been carefully read and your comment noted with reference to the price
you wish to obtain on the sale of the above property. However, the sale of all Japanese
properties is being carried out as a part of a policy of liquidation outlined by Ottawa on the basis of appraised values. The price obtained for your property is $1,456.00.
Your letter has been placed in our files in order that your comments in regard to
this sale will remain on record, but we can only advise you that we cannot consider
any alternative in connection with this matter. Kindly let us have your title without
delay.

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.
