Complaint

Box 24, Chapleau, Ontario February 21, 1947

Mr. George Peters

506 Royal Bank Building, Vancouver, B.C. Dear Sir:

Re: File No. 1091

I am herewith returning your cheque for the amount of $110.73, as the household effects I left in Steveston amounts to considerably more than that sum.

Enclosed is the list of articles I left with the approximate cost. The articles which are checked or crossed out, I received them while in Kaslo through your department.

Very truly yours,

Asano Obayashi

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.
