Extract referring to sale from letter on file dated

Mr. Yojiro TAKIMOTO,
Reg. No. 10672,
East Lillooet, B.C.

Dear Sir:

Re: Lots 2, 3 of Lot 16, Blk. 2, Lot 245,
G.1, Map 3785.

"Your letter of October 20th regarding liquidation of your real property as Haney has been received, and while the Custodian can appreciate that the disposal of your property is a matter of great personal concern to you, we must point out that the sale of all Japanese owned properties is being carried out as a part of a policy of liquidation outlined by the Canadian Government on the basis of independent appraised values, and this office is not in a position to consider any alternative.

For your information we have to advise you that the Custodian has accepted an offer of $6500.00 for Lot 1 only on which the dwelling at Haney is situated, of which $4000.00 is being received as a down payment, the balance being payable at 5% within two years. The adjoining property, namely, Lots 2 & 3, are being sold for $1600.00 cash. When sale is completed the net proceeds will be credited to your account and available for your use in the usual manner."
