Mr W.E. Anderson,
Vancouver, B.C.

Dear Sir:

I wish to write you a few lines about the price of my farm land.

I am enclosing you a assessment notice from Municipality of Maple Ridge for the farm land in which I built another house in the year of 1942 which cost me $500.00, so that the property I am quite sure is worth $2950.00

Why did I have to sell the land so cheap such as $1032.00, while it worth so much as above mentioned?

I am naturalized and am British subject.

I wish you will investigate the above farm land again and give me the fair price.

Yours truly,

"Naoichi Karatsu"
