Dear Sir:
You have informed me that my property known as Cowichan District - South ½ of North West ¼ of Section 6, Mayne Island 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 property above described. Because, however, I am in destitute circumstances, and because the government has discontinued the advance of maintenance to me, 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 our of what I consider the wrongful sale and disposition of my property.
Yours truly,
"M. Minamide"
Masajiro MINAMIDE,
