Dear Sir:

I would like to have the full credit for the sale of my property sent. The reason is that we would have to settle our personal debts.

There are items that I do not understand in the Balance Sheet you had sent. For instrance the Mortgage Balance came to $574.65. The mortgage was for $550.00. In the sheet you had already deducted Mortgage interest and etc. I would like to have an explanation.

Last of all I would like to complain that it is not my wish to have my properties sold. I would rather have it return but due to circumstance which was beyond my control, I'll have to accept the Custodian's offer.

Refer to file #2869.

Yours truly,

"K. Sasaki"
