Morihei Murakami to Office of the Custodian, 04 December 1946
I wish to acknowledge receipt of the sum of $2,467.45
through the local branch of the Bank of Montreal. I want to make it clear to you that I am accepting it only as part payment of my
Ganges property which you claimed to have sold. When we evacuated we were assured by the
Custodian that our property & everything on it will be well taken care of & I had
handed to you the list of goods on our property & also the value of our property,
which I would like you to check over and that is the value I would like to claim for
my property so I wish to make it plain again that what I am accepting now is only
as a part payment.

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.
