File No. 9208

Dear Sirs:-

I am writing this in protest of the property sale made by the Office of the Custodian in January, 1943.

Firstly, the sale was made without my knowledge or concentconsent and secondly, the sale prices of the two lands: one at Lot 21 of part of Section 2 Block 3 North Range 7 West Map 963 New Westminster District, Municipality of Richmond and the other, East one-half of Lot 17 and part (1.45 acres more or less) of Lot 16 of Section 2 Block 3 North Range 7 West Map 963 said part of Lot 16 as shown and outlined in red color on sketch deposited 7229, District of New Westminster, , are outrageously low in accordance with my estimation, considering the many improvements I have made since the purchase of the above described lands.

The two lands were purchased at $4400.00 and the buildings themselve were worth at the time of the evacuation $3760.00. According to the report on the property sales from your office, we have been informed that the sale prices of the two lands were $2455.00. This amount will not even cover the original cost price of the lands alone.

Finally, I wish to inform you that I am now able to obtain sufficient means to keep myself and my family without the monthly remittance you have been sending me. I would prefer you keep my account intact from this day on until further notice.

Yours truly, Masajiro Nishida
