Dear Sirs:-

Referring to your letter of Oct. 6th in respect to selling of my property:

Please be informed I am retaining the above mentioned so I strictly informed you not to sell it under any circumstances.

I wish to mention in 1942 prior to my evacuation I had a party willing to pay an exceptional price on it but solely to retain same I refused.

Yours truly,

"Yojiro Takimoto".
