Re: File #1351 Mr. K MATSUBAYASHI
File #8941 Mrs. Shigeko MATSUBAYASHI

Dear Mr. F. Matheson:

After diligent search I finally located the receipt for my radio and camera. I am enclosing it herewith as requested. It was issued by the Royal Canadian Mounted Police at Vancouver, B.C. on March 10, 1942.

However, I hereby vigorously protest against the unsatisfactory price at which you disposed of my radio.

I would like to have the specific statement in this transaction for future references. Also I would like the same statement regarding the disposing of my husband's chattels.

Yours truly,

"Mrs. Shigeko MATSUBAYASHI"
