         <div>
            <p>We are in receipt of your letters of <date when="1944-10-11">October 11, 1944</date>.</p>
            <p>Your remarks have been carefully read and we can appreciate that the disposal of your property is a matter which will give you 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 the <orgName>Canadian Government</orgName> and the prices obtained were on the basis of appraised valuations.</p>
            <p>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 the sale has been completed and that we are  not in a position to consider any alternative in regard to this matter.</p>
            <p>The sale of this property did not include the presmises of the <orgName>South Port Mann- Co-operative Association</orgName>. The chattels and equipment in the building have not been distributed by this office and the agreement with the <orgName>Pacific Coast Packers Limited</orgName> to hire the use of the crates is still in force.</p>
            <p>This office has repeatedly asked your assistance in supplying us with as much detail as possible regarding this Co-operative but thus far we have not received your co-operation. To administer the business of this Association property, it is necessary that you supply us with full details and, if possible, the records of the Co-operative. You must realize that you have supplied us with no evidence that this property is not yours, personally, and liable to liquidation along with your farm property. Therefore, we request you attention to this matter.</p>
         </div>
