COPY FOR Mr. Shears

Complaint

File No. 8941

April 5th, 1947 Guelph, Ont.

Dept. of the Secretary of State,

Japanese Evacuation Section

506 Royal Bank Bldg. Hastings and Granville Vancouver, B.C. Dear Mr. F Matheson:

Re:	File #1351 Mr. K Matsubayashi
	File #8941 Mrs. S Matsubayashi

After diligent search I finally located the receipt for my radio and camera. I am enclosing it herewith as requested. It was issued by the Royal Canadian Mounted Police at Vancouver, B.C. on March 10, 1942.

However, I hereby vigorously protest against the unsatisfactory price at which you disposed of my radio.

I would like to have the specific statement in this transaction for future references. Also I would like the same statement regarding the disposing of my husband's chattels.

Yours truly,

Mrs. Shigeko Matsubayashi

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.
