Copy for Mr. Shears (re Int. File 801-B)
Rose, Johnson & Moore Barristers & Solicitors
Complaint
Offices: Suite 409 Walter Scott Bldg. Moose Jaw, Sask. Canada March 6, 1947
Japanese Evacuation Section,
506 Royal Bank Building, Hastings and Granville Sts. Vancouver, B.C. Dear Sir:
We have before us you letter of February 28th written to Mr. Kensuke Kitagawa, Registration No. 08892.
Mr. Kitagawa desires us to inform you that he is not at all satisfied with the prices obtained for his property. He feels, and we think quite rightly, that he should have received what the property was reasonably worth.
In the meantime we have advised him to proceed to cash the cheque for $3,000.00 which was sent to him, and that such cashing is not to be taken as any indication that he approves of the transaction by which the $3,000.00 was obtained.
Yours truly,
Rose, Johnson & Moore
per: (initialled)

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.
