November 27, 1946.
Mr. F. Matheson,

Dear Sir:
I am in receipt of your letter of November 5 and also a cheque for Three hundred twenty-five dollars and fifty cents ($325.56).
Although I have accepted this cheque, I do so with many complaints. For one the amount for the cheque is only a small fraction of what the chattels are really worth. Years of hard labour were put in to get the chattels worth over three thousand dollars. I trusted these fixtures to you, that you would take care of them until this matter was cleared up. If I did ask you to sell my personal property, I would gladly accept the cheque but since this is not the case I am not doing so.
The cheque remains uncashed until you inform me what you are going to do about this matter. Your immediate answer to this letter will be greatly appreciated.
I am enclosing two receipts which I received when I surrendered two radios to the R.C.M.P. [Royal Canadian Mounted Police]. Please send the money to me. But please note that this cheque is not the real value of the radios.
I am definitely not accepting them as full payment for the chattels and radios.
Yours very truly,
(Mrs.) Y. Takemoto
Per S.T.
