            <salute>Dear Sir:</salute>
         </opener>
         <div>
            <p>I acknowledge your letter of <date when="1947-01-20">January 20th</date> and a cheque for the sum of <num>$4.33</num> but I did not receive a statement of my account as was stated in your letter.</p>
            <p>The cheque of $4.33 cannot be the full balance of my account. I cannot believe that all my goods were stolen from my house as there were some heavy fixtures such as a kitchen range. Also, the price of a trunk, the sale of which was stated in your letter of <date when="1944-02-09">February 9th, 1944</date>, has not been accounted for.</p>
            <p>I received your letter with much bitterness and with disappointment of my trust in your office. When I left <placeName><choice><abbr>B.C.</abbr><expan>British Columbia</expan></choice></placeName> I vested my property into the hands of the Custodian. All the sales your office has so far transacted have been usreasonably low. I also hold your office responsible for any loss of my goods through possible pilfering as your letter stated and I shall in due time take up this matter to the proper authorities.</p>
            <p>I shall be obliged if you would forward me the statement of my account, which you failed to enclose in your last letter.</p>
         </div>
         <closer style="text-align: right;">
            <salute>Yours truly,</salute>
