A letter from an unknown author to Frank Drew in Redondo, California. 14 July 1914.
A typed, 2 page letter draft in response to Frank Drew's letter (object number 2017.41.1.551) requesting information on North Whittier Heights. A descriptive folder will be mailed under a separate cover. Unplanted land has been divided into tracts of 5 to 50 acres and costs $400 to $800 per acre. Some land has been planted to oranges, lemons, grapefruit and walnuts. This land has been divided into 5, 10, 15, and 20 acre plots and costs $700 to $1025 per acre. With the completion of Turnbull Canyon Road and the building of the townsite, the demand and value for North Whittier Heights will go up. Many experienced citrus growers have invested in North Whittier Heights which shows the merit of the land. The author then gives a list of those who have invests so Mr. Drew can contact them if he wishes. . The letter is closed with an invitation to go out and look at the land. The last paragraph has many corrections.
The pages have been glued together in the top left corner, there are several holes in the top left corner (possibly from a straight pin), discoloration on the right side, small tear on the left toward the bottom, and a cut in the paper toward the bottom left. Page 1 also has rust damage in the top left, possibly from a paper clip. This object is in fair condition overall.Lexicon
