Dear Sir:

Received the cheque for the sum of four hundred and sixty-four dollars and five cents ($464.05). Also received the letter stating the book-keeping which there were no mistake except the for Sun Life Assurance dividend part. I have written to them also so hope it will straighten out with trouble.

But one thing I hope you will keep on your file of records about us not being satisfied with the price of the boat "T.K.1936" has being sold. In regarding to this matter we have written previously too. I think you have the price which we have asked for being selling the boat.

That is the only thing we are unsatisfactory about the boat price. I didn't know you were going to send us the money yet, but thank you for everything.

Yours truly,

T. Kondo
