| description | Item is a handwritten copy of a letter, likely written by Yonezo Uyeda, replying to the letter sent to Yonezo by W.J. Johnston of the Japanese Evacuation Section of the Office of the Custodian of the Department of the Secretary of State of Canada on November 9, 1949 (2025.1.7.3.5). The letter is handwritten in English and dated November 15, 1949, sent from Nakusp, BC, and is unsigned. The letter states that Yonezo is having difficulty giving permission for the return of items dispossessed from the former Queensborough Japanese Language School given that they belonged to the entire membership of the school. Yonezo indicates that he will get in touch with Mr. Yamashita (referring to Mr. Mitsuga Yamashita in the letter from the Office of the Custodian).
The file numbers inscribed in blue ink on the top left corner of the letter are in reference to the file numbers noted on the top left corner of the original letter sent by the Office of the Custodian. |
