Description

A letter from an unknown author to Edwin White in Santa Monica, California. 15 February 1919. The author states that he has been instructed by Mr. Hart to mail a letter to agents which will raise the prices of the company's citrus orchards by $150 per acre and its walnut orchards by $75 per acre. The author states that he is informing Mr. White about this matter as he was unsure whether Ms. Taylor would let him know. The author then states that Mr. White can try to purchase a certain property before the letter goes out, and mentions that Mr. White's brother may have made a deal with Mr. Hart regrding some La Habra property. With minor tears, minor fold, a stain, severe discoloration/acid burns, a stain, a missing piece, and brittleness caused by the acidity of its paper material, the object is in fair to poor condition overall.
