            </argument>

         <div>
            <p>We are in receipt of your letter of the <date when="1945-04-26">26th ultimo</date> and note that you protest the sale of your Prince Rupert property. This protest is being placed on record in your file.</p>
            <p>The policy of liquidation was, as you are aware, decided upon by the Government authorities at <placeName>Ottawa</placeName>, and while we appreciate that the sale of any property is a matter of personal concern and may in some cases be contrary to the wishes of the owner, we have taken every possible step to secure fair and adequate prices.</p>
            <p>Your request for remittance of balance of your account is being replied to separately.</p>
         </div>
