Kaoru Atagi and Hisao Atagi to Office of the Custodian, 02 January 1945

Celista, B. C. January 2nd, 1945.
Office of the Custodian, 506 Royal Bank Building, Hastings and Granville Streets, Vancouver, B. C. Dear Sirs:
Re: Catalogue No. 805 Lot B of a 3 ac. ptn. of Sec. 4/B3N/R7W/Sk. 3756 . Files 4829 and 8965
We have just received your letter a few days ago that the above property is in course of sale.
Besides $4000.00 is too low a price for the above property, we have not any intention of selling our property. One reason is that we still have quite a few personal things left on it and also the other Japanese evacuees have theirs left in their houses on our property.
In reply to your last letter, we want to warn you that you have not our permission to sell the above property, whatever the directions issued from Ottawa.
Yours very truly,
"Kaoru Atagi" 05071
"Hisao Atagi" 05037

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.
