Re: File No. 12819 Catalogue No. 699 328 11th St. New Westminster B.C. Lots 8 & 12/25 S.B. 6/2620

Informed that my property had been sold as of April 21, 1945, for the small sum of $900.00 without my approval. I can say that I'm not any too happy about the whole thing.

Please forward the sum of $653.20 which is credited to me in your hands, as soon as possible.

Yours truly,

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.
