Dear Sir:
I acknowledge receipt of cheque of $186.05 and account of sale of my land but am very aggrieved at my real estate sold at such a very low price without the consent of myself.
I know and am sure that the minimum price value of my land at present is over $1000.00. To prove that the value of my land was $700.00 I am sending you couple of tax receipt which I am sure will make clear to you the value of my land at that time and I have paid my tax accordingly since 1938, the year I bought that land. At that time the value of land was low but at present I am sure the value is over $1000.00.
I don't know if the Custodian of Enemy property has the right to sell my land without my consent, but I think the Custodian has not the right to sell my land at such a low price so I would like to know why it was sold at such an unfair dealing? I would like you to kindly check up on the value of my land at present and give me an reply and until I can fully understand why it was sold at such a low unfair price, I cannot send my title for land.
Yours truly,
"T. Hiramatsu"
