Office of the Custodian,

Sir:

I am in receipt of your cheque for sum of $456.05, for which I thank you.

As you wish me to confirm that this sum terminates all account for my property vested in the Custodian.

I hereby swear that I have received in full, only your valuation of my property.

If you wish me to declare that I have received a fair and just sum for all properties I certainly do not. Can you imagine that I would want to sell 100 Acres of land 15 Acres cleared upon which is built a 6 room house, 16,000 sq. ft. of greenhouse for sum of $1890.00.

Should the Government of Canada decide to change its policies I think I have a few more dollars coming.

Yours truly,

"J.K. Sumi"

Reg. No. 14275.
