Suzumi Tsuida to The Department of the Secretary of State, Office of the Custodian, 25 February 1947

Complaint

Taber, Alberta February 25th, 1947.

The Department of the Secretary of State,

Vancouver, B.C. Dear Sir:

I received a letter and cheque addressed to me, the cheque “being the balance derived from the sale of chattels.”

I am returning the cheque for fifteen dollars and twenty cents ($15.20) because there must be an error, either in the owner of those chattels or in the value of the goods.

Yours truly,

Suzumi Tsuida,

Registration #05302

File No. 5311

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.
