Dear Sirs:

Re: Catalogue No. 805
Lot B of a 3 ac. ptn. of Sec. 4/B3N/R7W/Sk. 3756.
Files 4829 and 8965

We have just received your letter a few days ago that the above property is in course of sale.

Besides $4000.00 is too low a price for the above property, we have not any intention of selling our property. One reason is that we still have quite a few personal things left on it and also the other Japanese evacuees have theirs left in their houses on our property.

In reply to your last letter, we want to warn you that you have not our permission to sell the above property, whatever the directions issued from Ottawa.

Yours very truly,

"Kaoru Atagi"
Kaoru ATAGI, 05071

"Hisao Atagi"
Hisao ATAGI, 05037
