Digitized item from the Yasui Brothers business records, Mss 2949. The item is a letter from Ray T. Yasui to William S. Finney dated 28 August 1944. In this letter, Yasui discusses rejecting a deal for the sale of the family's 12th Street property because the offer of $3750 was unreasonably low. He states that he has asked the family for their acceptable minimum sale price, and would like to re-list the property for sale once the price has been established. He notes that he and his family fear that individuals may attempt to take advantage of the relocation of Japanese Americans to acquire property at low prices. He requests that any offers be directed to the family, and writes that offers for the store building or the property on 3rd Street would be considered.
