Dear Sir:

I received your letter dated 5th inst. containing a cheque of which I am sorry I have to return to you.

In this opportunity I wish to register my resentment regarding method of disposal of my property.

In your letter you mentioned that you have sent to me a statement up to May 30th, 1944, which did not reach to me.

Since I left the major portion of my household and farm chattels vested in the Custodian, I would like to know how they were disposed of.

Will you kindly send me a copy of the statement of my account up to May 30th, 1944.

In regard to my interest in the Maple Ridge Co-operative Produce Exchange, I am a shareholder but do not remember correctly re share and I would suggest you look into the share book of the Co-op. which is in your possession.

Yours truly,

"Y. Yamaga"

Y. Yamaga,

P.S. Also please send me a detailed statement of auction sale at Haney which netted $36.81 for my chattels.
