A typed letter regarding the planting of trees in North Whittier Heights. There are 1056 Eureka Lemon trees from Floyd Jordan. 544 Eureka Lemon trees, and 544 Valencia Orange trees from F.C. and W.B. Myers. 2000 Eureka Lemon trees from Charles Hamburg. 900 Valencia Orange trees, and 670 Eureka Lemon trees from John R. King. 900 Valencia Orange tress from A.B. Rogers and son. Charley Hamburg will plant his trees on lots 48 and 49 of tract 2421. He will have about 300 trees, which he will not be able to plant on these lots, so arrangements will need to be made to find an addition lot for him to plant. John R. King will plant his 900 Valencias on lot 58 in tract 2421 and lot 107 in tract 1953. A lot for his 670 lemons will need to be determined at a later date. Floyd Jordan will plant his lemon trees on lot 1 in tract 2472. He will start at the west line and plant as far east as he can. Mr. Jordan and Mr. King will be over later in the week or start of the next week to peg out the property lines. Mr. Jordan, Mr. King, and Mr. Hamburg should be out next week to start planting. Also, lots will need to be selected for Mr. Myers and Mr. Rogers to plant.
There is a fold in the top left corner, creases on the right side, 2 small tears on the right side, and discoloration on the top and right sides. This object is in good condition overall.
