Shotaro Nakamura to Office of Custodian, 24 August 1945

Copy for Mr. Shears

August 24, 1945. Greenwood, B. C.

Office of Custodian, 506 Royal Bank Bldg., Hastings and Granville, Vancouver, B. C. Dear Sir:

The war has ended and I do not wish to sell my property for a while. You have stated that the value of my property is $3,000.00. If you are going to sell my property I do not want it to be sold any less than $5,000.00.

Will you please keep my property as it is for a while if you cannot sell it for that price.

Thank you, Yours truly,

Shotaro Nakamura

Reg. No. 08472

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.
