Dear Sir:
Your demand for dispersal of furniture and articles in my home of the above Vancouver address, which you have sold without my permission, cannot be done. It is impossible for me to attempt any form of plan, hundred of miles away from the properties and articles concerned. Unless someone who has immediate knowledge of home and ownership is present in Vancouver, it is impossible to segregate ownership of various pieces of furniture and articles left in my care. Of course, persons of Japanese origin is not allowed in Vancouver, which makes it difficult for sale or shipping to its rightful owners. Secondly, as I have repeatedly protested and objected to the sale of my home, no consideration was given to my appeal, but, nevertheless the sale was undertaken by you regardless so when individual right and justice is overruled by force and injustice, it is useless for my efforts in the matter you have demanded.
You have liquidated my home on your terms and ruling force and, as far as you are concerned, my appeals and wishes are useless and immaterial. I have from time to time stated in my letters on your file, my rejection for sale of my house on personal reasons. In the near future, with my title to my property which lawfully claims it cannot be duplicated for the original owner, I will place in capable hands, when the injustice can be decided and rectified in the justice courts of Canada for individual right as a Canadian.
Yours truly,
"K. Yoshida"
