Toyokichi Omori

56 Beverley Street, Toronto, Ontario March 18th, 1947

Office of the Custodian, 506 Royal Bank Bldg. Hastings and Granville VANCOUVER, B.C. Dear Sir:

I have been thinking about the cheque you sent me but have come to the conclusion that the amount for which our house was sold is less than what anyone would have had to pay in ordinary time. You cannot buy a house for a small sum of $700.00 and even though it was small, it was our home. The house was sold without our consent which is another thing and I think it is very unfair. I am returning the cheque for $666.65.

Yours truly,

T. Omori

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.
