Mr. Chiaki Katsuno

Reg. No. 14031

P.O. Box 874 Hope, B.C. Dear Sir:

We wish to acknowledge your letter of the 6th December, and have accordingly noted your remarks.

The sale of your property was carried out by this office on instructions from the Canadian Government at Ottawa, on the basis of appraised valuations. While we appreciate that this is a matter of personal concern to you, we must advise that we are unable to consider any alternative in the matter.

Your letter however, is being placed on your file here where it will be available at any time.

Yours truly,

W E Anderson

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.
