Dear Sir: -

You have informed me that my property known as Lot "D" of Lots Seven (7), Ten (10), and Eleven (11) of Block Eight (8) of Part of Section Eleven (11) Block Three (3) North Range Seven (7) Map 4466 in the District of New Westminster, has been sold.

As you are aware, I have never consented to the sale nor ratified it but have at all times and do now object to the sale of my said property. Because, however, I am in destitute circumstances, and because I am now deprived of the income from my said property which I formerly enjoyed, I have to request from you, the proceeds of the sale of the property in order to maintain myself and my family but in doing so I wish it made clear that it is only being accepted under protest and without prejudice to any rights which I have or may have arising out of what I consider the wrongful sale and disposition of my property.

Yours truly,

"Kamekichi KOBAYASHI"
Reg. No. 03840
