A letter from an unknown author to E.R. Essley in Whittier, California. 3 July 1914
A typed follow up to a phone conversation the author had with E.R. Essley regarding the transport of trees from Orange to North Whittier Heights. There are about 770 trees at Peter Goodicksoen's ranch at McPherson station. Half of the trees can be loaded and brought to North Whittier Heights. The author would like this first load to be picked up on Monday and delivered to Mr. H.W. Mekell on the corner of Gale and Seventh Avenue. The second half can be taken Richfield Station where 260 orange trees will be unloaded for Mr. Edwin MacGinnis. These 260 orange trees will be replaced by 260 lemon trees. The 125 orange trees and 260 lemon trees can then be taken to North Whittier Heights. The orange trees are to go to Mr. Burke, who will show Mr. Essley where to unload these trees. The lemon trees are to go to Mr. Du Barry's nursery. The author then lays out the route he suggests Mr. Essley take for the delivery of the second load of trees. The letter is closed with instructions to make due the drivers do not abuse the trees in the loading or unloading process or fall off the wagon on the road. The bill for the hauling can be mailed to the other at the Union Oil Building.
