This will acknowledge receipt of yours of Oct. October 12. I must say at the outset, I am not at all satisfied with the sum received of my assets.

In particular I feel that you sacrificed the greenhouse glass at an extremely low price. I am informed by the W.P.T.B. officer in charge of the Glass Section, in Toronto, that there has been a great demand for greenhouse glass both new and second hand.

I am further informed that the selling price on new glass in Aug. August 1945 was $9.92 per case. Since 6,000 sq. feet of this glass had never been taken out of the cases, it should have been classified as new glass, and we should therefore have received $595.20 for this. I am further informed that the selling price for second-hand glass is set at 80% of the coast to the owner. This glass cost me $7.50 per hundred sq. ft., and the transportation charges from Victoria to Pt. Alberni were $300.00. This would mean that we would have been entitled to charge $720.00 for the 9,000 sq. ft. of second-hand glass, including three fifths of the transportation charges. We should therefore have realized something like $1315.20 for this glass, and even if our tally had been wrong, and there was only 14,500 sq. ft. the amount realized is scarcely hald of what it should have been.

For the above reasons I wish to register a most emphatic protest against the way this entire transaction was handled. I might also point out that my tools, which in your opinion were worth $150.00 for insurance purposes were given to some person for $8.50.

I have already cashed your cheque in my favour for $1256.62 but I have accepted it merely on account of your indebtedness to me, and I am looking to your for a further payment of some more reasonable sum for the realization of my assets.
