Dear Sir:-

File No. 8207. Cat. No. 582.

In replying to your letter of Jan. 3rd inst. I am not in favour of having you sell my property at such a price as you have quoted as it cost me much more.

Would you kindly send me the balance to my credit from the auction sales of my household goods, as we cannot live on what we are getting. I have asked the welfare office here to have it sent to me so I think they have written to you.

Thanking you for your trouble.

Yours truly,

"Kango Tatebe"
