COPY FOR Mr. Shears

R.R. No. 3 Vernon, B.C. October 13, 1947

Department of the Secretary of State,

Office of the Custodian 506 Royal Bnk. Building Hastings & Granville VANCOUVER, B.C. Dear Sir:

Re: File No. 1380

I acknowledge receipt of your kind letter of Sept. 30, 1947.

Enclosed herewith please find your cheque for $245.49 which you sent to me.

Your intention of closing my account by payment of this cheque is not in accord with my wishes, since acceptance will mean a big loss on my part.

My strong disagreement to the transaction done for me by you compels me to send this cheque back.

Thank you for your kind services, I remain

Yours truly,

Kozo Kitagawa

Reg. No. 04410

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.
