The Pollard Brothers will plant an additional 20,000 lemon and orange trees and land has been divided into 5 to 40 acre tracts with planted land at $865 an acre and unplanted at $700 an acre. The area is so good that $130,000 has been sold including 200 acres to California. Loan terms are giving and a contract to care for orchards is mentioned. This letter, with many corrections in pen and pencil is in response to object number 2017.41.1.16. With holes from a straight pin, stains, wear, tears, and pieces missing, the object is in good overall condition.
