Vancouver, B.C.

Dear Sir:

This is to acknowledge your cheque amounting to Forty-One Dollars and Fourteen Cents ($41.14) as requested by you. You also mention in this letter that 3 boxes of chinaware and 1 Washing Machine left at Mrs. Y Kariya's home are lost.

I would like to say that for the past four and one half years I have been on a self-supporting basis and am quite low financially. If there is any way in which I can make a claim for these lost goods, I would like to know in which manner I should go about in getting compensation for the lost goods, since there were left in your care.

Yours very truly,

"K. Hashimoto"
