Kango Tatebe to Office of the Custodian, 19 January 1945

Copy for Mr. Shears.
Lemon Creek, Slocan, B. C. Jan. 19, 1945.
Office of the Custodian, 506 Royal Bank Bldg., Vancouver, B. C. Dear Sir:-
File No. 8207. Cat. No. 582.
In replying to your letter of Jan. 3rd inst. I am not in favour of having you sell my property at such a price as you have quoted as it cost me much more.
Would you kindly send me the balance to my credit from the auction sales of my household goods, as we cannot live on what we are getting. I have asked the welfare office here to have it sent to me so I think they have written to you.
Thanking you for your trouble.
Yours truly, Reg. No. 09278.

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.
