W E Anderson to Mr. Chojuro Furutani, 13 October 1944
We are in receipt of your letter of October 2, 1944.
Your remarks have been carefully read and we can appreciate that the disposal of your
property is a matter which will give you 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 the Canadian Government and the prices obtained were on the basis of appraised valuations.

sale will remain on record, but we can only advise you that the sale has been completed
and that we are not in a position to consider any alternative in regard to this matter.

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.
