Mr. F.G. Shears,
Office of the Custodian,
506 Royal Bank Building,
Vancouver, B.C.

Dear Sir:

Re: Blocks 14 and 17 and Lots 1 to 10 inclusive of Block "A" of lot 165, Group 3, Map 2632, District of New Westminster, Municipality of Mission, C. of E. 49974, Right of Way, Map 4882 as to Block 14 only, Municipality of Mission.

Acknowledge receipt of the sale of the above property for the sum of $411.00. In 1930, the B.C. Government had bought a parcel of my property as a right of way for $898.00.

At this rate, the sale is only one-sixth of the former valuation. In my estimation, I think the value of each acre is worth $350.00. The land had been cultivated and the rhubarb, asparagus and hop crop would net more than $1,000.00.

Therefore, I protest in the amount of the above sale which I think is most unfair and request that a more equitable valuation be placed upon the said property.

Yours truly,

(Signed) (Mrs.) Hisa Endo
