In this form she stated that she wished to buy the land to build a home, confirmed that the land was vacant, and declared that she and her husband owned other property. She also confirmed that no related or contingent transactions existed and that the purchase price involved no furniture, livestock, plant, or fittings.

The agent enclosed a cheque for the £5 deposit, stating it was being returned “as arranged,” and asked her to return the original receipt. This letter indicates that the sale did not proceed, consistent with the contract copies being marked “Cancelled.” Overall, the documents show that a 1947 land sale was initiated, formally documented, submitted for government approval, and then abandoned, with the deposit refunded to the purchaser."
