M Sano to Department of the Secretary of State Office of the Custodian, 26 February 1947

COMPLAINT LETTER - Cheque returned

COPY For Mr. Shears

Box 195, Geraldton, Ont. Feb. 26, 1947

Department of the Secretary of State,

Dear Sir:

I am obliged to return to you a cheque enclosed herewith which you sent me the other day.

I am sorry to say that your disposition upon my belonging is very unfair, you did not send any detail of statement, and the net proceeds from sale of my chattels is absolutely unsatisfactory, that am unable to accept this cheque.

Yours truly,

M Sano

Cheque was sent to Chiyoko (Mrs. Matasaburo) SANO, Reg.No.07793, File 7853. The letter appears to be from her husband. The chattels were reported by both.

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.
