Description
A letter from an unknown author to Mr. Bicknell in Newhall, California. 1 November 1918. The abbreviation "GTR:G" near the signature line may refer to Grover T. Russell. Additional text refers to the "Sales Manager for Edwin G. Hart." Having learned that Mr. Bicknell wants to sell his walnut orchard, Lot 14 in the Orchardale Tract of East Whittier, the author encourages Mr. Bicknell to list the property with him. The author would like for Mr. Bicknell to specify the price of the orchard and whether he wants to go by its net acreage of 5 acres or its gross acreage of 5.227 acres. The author states that his office handles properties on a 5% commission basis and that he already has a prospective client who may wish to purchase the orchard; thus, he suggests that Mr. Bicknell should respond urgently if he is interested. With minor tears, missing pieces, minor acid burns, severe discoloration, minor foxing, and minor stains, the object is in fair to poor condition overall.
