Dear Sir:

Re: Your file No. 8698, 8699, 8701.

I have your communication of June 29th, 1945, reg. the property in the District of New Westminster.
It is referred to have been sold to the Director, Veterans' Land Act, this has been done without my consent, as a owner of the said property I would like to have more confirmed statement made.

You have stated in your letter that when the time arrives for an allotment of properties, this must be determined by the directors, in my case I must ask you once again that the said property is not for sale in which case, the property rightfully belongs to its owner.

This must not be taken into consideration on the bases of allotment to discharged soldiers.

This matter should be taken into immediate action, and not after the conclusion of the hostilities as stated in your letter.

Sir I would be glad to hear from you immediately and also whom, I should contact, in the Dept. Director of Veterans' Land Act.

Yours truly,

"Pte. Omura S.M."
