Mr. Morison Masamoto Tanaka
Reg. No. 13718
Diamond City, Alta. Dear Sir:
We have received your letter of the 6th September, in reply to our letter to you on the administration of your affairs.
While we appreciate that the liquidation of your assets was of personal concern to you, this action was carried out under instructions received from the Canadian Government at Ottawa, and properties sold on the basis of appraised valuation at that time. This office has no alternative in the matter, but your letter is being placed on record on your file.
Yours truly, Administration Dept.
WEA:HA

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.
