Dear Sir:

Our property on 1373 Horel Rd. New Westm'r. was sold without our permission for only $1880.00. For this amount for a new 130 feet double-decker chicken house, which cost us over $1500. and seven other chicken house, a barn, packing house, pump house and a full basement living house with running water, and with many furniture and farm equipment, I would consider it very cheap. Will you please send me a list of the things sold and their prices and what value each dwelling was.

Yours truly,
"C. Furutani"
