This folder will be sent with a different cover letter.

The property has been subdivided into tracts from 5 to 50 acres, with unplanted land costing $400 to $800 an acre. Many acres have also been planted to Eureka Lemons, Valencia Oranges, and Marsh Grapefruit. This land has been divided into 5, 10, 15, and 20 acres tracts and cost $750 to $975 an acre. Some of the most successful citrus men have bought land which shows they have land that have the land to develop "citrus groves that pay," and the prices for these lands are set accordingly. With the completion of a townsite, a road through Turnbull Canyon, and the ability for the land to produce the value of the land will only go up. The author closes the letter by inviting Mr. Cunningham out to the property when he comes to Los Angeles. There is a note along the top of page 1, indicating this same letter was sent to P.W. Odom in Dallas, Texas.
