Dear Sirs:

Your File No. 6650

You have informed me by your letter of April 21 that my property known as Lot 12, & N½ 11, Blk.20, Sec. 3, B3N, R7W, Map 249., at 4th & Broadway, Steveston, B. C. has been sold.

As you are aware, I have never consented to the sale nor ratified it but have at all time and do now object to the sale of my said property. Because, however, I am a member of self-supporting Housing Project I have to request from you the full amount of the proceed of the sale of the property in order to maintian 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 our of what I consider the wrongful sale and disposition of my property.

Yours truly

"Mangiro Kurahashi - #05022"
