Dear Gentlemen:
According to the letter I received on May 18th I was astonished that our property is sold. Why should you sell it, we did not get any relief or help from Canada instead we are helping, here we are growing sugar-beets, buying bonds, stamps, doing Red Cross works, giving donation for the Salvation Army. I believe it's no use.
I thought the Custodian suppose to look after the land and responsible for everything, not sell it.
Well anyways I want all the money. I also want our three beds sends to us. They're all brown steel beds, with springs everythings like new. And report to us how much the freight is.
We might as well tell our hidden articles. These chattels are in the attic of the pickers house (next to the barn). The following things.
