Dear Sir:

Before evacuation in 1942 our radios had been taken over by the R.C.M.P.Royal Canadian Mounted Police. My radio a R.C.A. Victor Mantel Radio valued at $115.00 new, year 1937 has also been turned over at that time. I have information today that some have got their radios back and others have been compensated for its value. I would appreciate greatly if you would please look into this matter and do what you possibly can on this matter at this present time.

Yours very truly,

Kiyoshi Higano,
Reg. No. 14239

The serial No. of the Radio was 0732. I am enclosing the copy of my Radio Receipt.
