Mr. & Mrs. Yohey Koby to Mr. W E Anderson, 07 June 1947

Port Hope Ont. June 7, 1947
Copy for Mr. Shears' Complaint File
Mr. W E Anderson
Dept. of the Secretary of State,
506 Royal Bank Bldg. Hastings & Granville Vancouver, B.C. Dear Sir:
This will acknowledge receipt of your letter dated 27th May.
The sum of $1490.43 has been credited to my account, but I am definitely not satisfied with the settlement.
I was offered $3200.00 in 1942, and Real Estate values have increased if anything since that time.
I am enclosing the Title Document as requested.
Since your office was Custodian of our property, I would appreciate an immediate solution as to what steps I must take to increases this settlement.
If these settlements are entirely in your hands, will you please give me particulars as to how this figure was derived, as I definitely feel it is unfair.
Sincerely yours,
Mr. & Mrs. Yohey Koby
Reg. No. 13769 & 13816
C/o Trinity College School,
Port Hope

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.
