Addendum 16. Letter from “Town of Powell” (O.E. Bever, Mayor), to Harold Ickes, Dept. of the Interior, Washington, D.C. , June 5, 1944
Scope and Contents
Paragraph #3. Our county is sparsely settled. The retention of the Japanese in this county under some set-up whereby they become wards of the Government, or their being allowed to remain here after the war on a voluntary basis, would prove damaging to the economic set-up of our little county. We just don’t want them here and would like to have assurance from persons in authority that the promise made by the Chief Executive of the State of Wyoming at the time of their coming, will be honored and their removal effected.”
