| title | Letter from T. Nakatani, Steveston B.C., to E. Nakatani, Grand Forks, B.C.; 1942 |
| name | Letter |
| date | 1942 |
| description | The letter is written from Mr. Takao Nakatani to Mr. Esumatsu Nakatani. The sender is writing to his uncle, Esumatsu about the injustice of forced removal by expressing his sadness of being apart from many people, and his home and community in Steveston. He mentions his vivid image of saying ‘Good bye’ to many of his friends who already moved to Manitoba and Alberta by train. His main purpose of writing the letter is to ask his uncle to keep all the letters addressed to him since he gave Esumatsu’s address to all his friends who have left already. He is concerned of losing contact with his friends as he is also leaving his town soon. He does not want to separate from his family and if he goes to Greenwood (where the Catholic Church is) there will not be enough space for all his family. He does not know where he will move yet but will tell his uncle Esumatsu as soon as he decides.
