Sadao Yanoshita to The Custodian, 18 August 1944

Reg. #07852, Lethbridge, Alberta, August 18, 1944.

File No. 5582

The Custodian,

You have informed me that my property known as Mun. of Matsqui - Lot 2 of Lot 2, Block "A" of the south east quarter of Sec. 33, Township 16, Map 5845, District of New Westminster, C. of E. 49979 has been sold.

As you are aware, I have never consented to the sale nor ratified it but have at all times and do now object to the sale of my said property. Because, however, I am in destitute circumstances due partly to the hailing out of our beet crop, and because my family needs immediate dental and medical care, I have to request from you, the proceeds of the sale of the property in order to maintain myself and family but in doing so I wish it made clear that it is only being accepted under protest and without prejudice to any rights which I have or may have arising our of what I consider the wrongful sale and disposition of my property.

Please therefore mail me at your earliest convenience the $215.86 shown as a credit balance on your endorsed statement.

(Signed) "S. Yanoshita"

Sadao Yanoshita,

Reg. #07852.
