Dear Sir:

lot. 259. [handwritten]

You have informed me that my property known as 8859 Selkirk Street 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, 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,

"Kina Kuwabara"
(Formerly of Sandon).
