Dear Sir:

In your letter of April 13, 1944, you stated the sale price of my property, viz:

Part 20 acres of the W½ of the NE¼ of Sec. 14, Twp. [township] 7 and part 5 acres more or less of the W½ of the NE¼ of Sec. 14, Twp. 7, of the Municipality of Langley.

Between the Department and the Director, The Veterans' Land act to be $1267.00. If that is the price of the property and equipment left when we were moved out here it covers only a part of the value. To build the 250 or so feet of chicken houses of that size, alone, would easily cost that amount. So do not sell the property at such a small sum.

Yours truly,

"K. Fukumoto"
