Shichitaro Odagaki to Office of the Custodian, 24 November 1944

Copy for Mr. Shears

Slocan City, B. C. Nov. 24, 1944.

Office of the Custodian, 506 Royal Bank Bldg., Vancouver, B. C. Dear Sir:

I have received your letter, File #1634, Cat. #713, stating that my property is to be sold. I have thought over this matter very seriously and came to the conclusion that I will not sell the property. Being evacuated out here and living a poor life, that property is the only thing we have to look forward to.

I will appreciate very much if you would inform this buyer that my property is not for sale.

Yours truly,

"Shichitaro Odagaki"

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.
