Dear Sir:

We are in receipt of your letter of May 20, 1944.

Your remarks have been carefully read and we can appreciate that the disposal of your property will be a matter of 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 Ottawa on the basis of appraised values.

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 we are unable to consider any alternative in regard to this matter.

We are sending a copy of the chattels, listed in your letter, that you had hidden in the pickers' house next to the barn, to our fieldman who will make a report as to the condition of the articles which they find the next time they are in that locality.

Yours truly, W E Anderson, Farm Department.
