A letter from an unknown author to L.G. Boies in Birmingham, Iowa. 16 May 1918. A two page, typed letter. The abbreviation "GTR:G" near the signature line may refer to Grover T. Russell. The author states that Mr. Boies' earlier letter regarding two lots in Monrovia, California (Object ID: 2017.41.1.1452) has been received. The author then values Lot 4 in Block X at $500 to $550 and Lot 5 in Block L at $1,000. The author mentions that, due to the United States' involvement in the Great War (now commonly referred to as Word War I), a camp relating to the balloon war service will be erected near Monrovia, which may benefit the area economically. The author states that he will accept whatever compensation that Mr. Boies feels appropriate for having gathered this information. With adhesive in the top left corner which is holding the document together, creases, minor acid burns, yellowing, ink stains, folded corners, holes, minor tears, and minor wear, the object is in good to fair condition overall.Lexicon
