COPY FOR MR. SHEARS
Cheque returned for redeposit. Manzo Araki, Reg. No. 09317, File 5417
Box 14,
Westbank, B.C.
May 22nd, 1947.
Dear Sir:
I have received this cheque of $25.00 for my house, but I won't accept it. It sure is quite a price for a house isn't it? I am a return soldier & I sure get treated well after fighting for this country, don't I? As for the house I'll put the price on myself.
Thank you,
Yours truly,
"MANZO ARAKI"
