Mr. Yasutaro SAKAMOTO,
Registration No. 12861,
Sandon, B. C.

Dear Sir:

We are in receipt of your letter of May 1, 1944.

Your remarks have been carefully read and we can appreciate that the disposal of your property will be a matter of personal concern. However, the sale of properties to the Director, The Veterans' Land Act was carried out as a part of a policy of liquidation outlined by Ottawa on the basis of appraised values.

Your letter has been placed upon our files so that your comments in regard to this sale will remain on record but we can only advise you that we are unable to consider any alternative in regard to this matter.

Your reference to proceeds from the 1943 crop is explained in our letter to you of August 30, 1943 advising you of the sale of your property as of the 1st of January, 1943. All revenue since that date accrued to the purchaser.

Yours truly,

W. E. Anderson,
Farm Department.
