Copy for Mr. Shears
Dept. of the Secretary of State of Canada,
Japanese Department,
Vancouver, B. C.
Dear Sirs:
In regard to the letter we received some time last year regarding my property at
125 Garry Street, Steveston, B. C.
which you have sold to the S. S. Board at the low price which I don't approve and
which you had no right to sell without my consent. And for the matter for the record
I do not consent to this selling of my property, even if it is the "Order-in-Council's"
order.
Since you have sold the property already and as I had the statement regarding my account
with you will you please close my account with you and send the balance of the credit
due me as the money I have in your account is not giving me any interest whatsoever,
and I need the money to rent th house here in Grand Forks, B. C. for living expenses
as I am not working and needs the money right away.
And please send the statement up to date regarding my account.
Yours truly,
Ikutaro Konishi

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.
