Dear Sir:

Re: File # 3644.

I hereby acknowledge the receipt of the cheque for $221.93 which represents the balance of the funds which were in my credit.

The proceeds from the sale of the chattels you mentioned in the last letter would belong to my mother who was living at 1023 MacLean Drive up to the time of the evacuation. Her name is Mrs. Kaoru Takayesu and lives at 252 MacNab Street North of this city.

Although this last cheque accounts for all the monies accredited to me through the forced sale of my property, it much be understood that I did not at any time condone or support the sale of the said property, having refused firmly to consider such a course even to my former rental agents viz. MacGregor, Johnson & Thomas of Vancouver who wanted to sell it for me.

Yours truly

"M. Masui"

Reg. # 02310.
