Dear Sir:-

Re: Catalogue No. 537
Lot 2 of Sec.53, Rupert Dist. Plan 4192
Your file No. 7386

Referring to your letter of the 7th August last informing me that the above property is in course of sale, and requesting me to foreward you Title No. 128424-1 covering this land, I beg to advise you that I have never consented to the sale and I do object to the sale of the above my property.

I am a member of the Japanese Property Owners' Association for which Messrs. Norris & MacLennan at 602 Hastings St. W. Vancouver are attorneys. I suggest you to communicate with them for any further enquiry.

Yours truly,

"K. Minakawa"
