C O P Y to Mr. Shears, July 25, 1947
c/o D Amundson Picture Butte, Alberta July 21, 1947
Dear Sirs:
I received this cheque of $5.11 few weeks ago.
We cannot accept this cheque because as you know quite well, we didn't ask you to sell our houses for us. The Custodian sold it with their own ideas. We asked them to just look after it but they didn't so here I'm enclosing this cheque for $5.11.
Yours truly,

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.
