Your File #1480. Cat. No. 507.
Dear Sir:
Re: Port Albion (Ucluelet) property.
Your letter of September 29th, 1944, addressed to Mr. Risuke Hamade, Registration No. 12150, of Lemon Creek, Slocan, B. C., has been referred to us for attention.
"Ottawa's policy" of orderly liquidation of coastal properties, insofar as it affects the property of Mr. Hamade, is strenuously objected to by him and he has no intention of effecting a sale of his property for any reason whatsoever. We wish you to note, on Mr. Hamade's behalf, his objection to the proposed sale of his property and while he is forced, due to present conditions, to stand by, he is not agreeing to the sale and is not prepared to foreward to you the Certificate of Title which you have asked for.
Yours truly,
Norris & MacLennan,
per "J A MacLennan"

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.
