Y Teranishi to Office of the Custodian of Enemy Property , 28 May 1945

File No. 9617,
Bridge River, Shalalth, B.C. May 28, 1945.
Dear Sir:
According to your letter of April 3, 1945 my property has been sold by you for the sum of $1,000.00. Although this sum is unsatisfactory to me at present I cannot do nothing to reject this so I hope to settle it after war.
As I have mentioned before, I am here on a self-supporting scheme and have to support my family. At present I am out of employment and need money so will you please send all my credit balance in your office as soon as possible.
Thank you, Yours truly,
Re. Catalogue 807.
No 1 Road Steveston

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.
