Dear Sir:

I have received yours of the 12th inst., regarding to my property, 104 St. George St., Nanaimo, B. C. In your letter you say I have sold it to Mrs. Thomas Cullen, and require the title above.

I don't complain the Government policy of the liquidation, but I can't sell such a cheap price as you quote, because I have bought that house with property for the amount of $625.00 first and I have built adjoining rooms and wood shed cost me $465.00, therefore I will sell to anybody for the amount of $1,090.00.

At any rate I won't sell less than I have spent by myself.

Yours truly,

"Takayoshi Maede"
