Description
A letter from H.M. Jordan in Whittier, California to Grover T. Russell. 3 February 1914.
A written letter on letter head for The Jordan Citrus Nurseries. H.M. Jordan informs Grover T. Russell the outcome of taking 2 men, John McFadden and Mr. Brocaw, out to North Whittier Heights. Mr. McFadden says that once he sells his land in Yorba Linda then he is going to buy in North Whittier Heights. Mr. Brocaw was taken to North Whittier Heights before by Lock, who make him a proposition of 1/10 down. He thinks he is going to buy. He is not getting any bite for the walnut trees. He sold 3 to Smith and Lloyd will see about his party soon. Mr. Jordan would like to know how things are in regard to the $100. The lady that Mr. Jordan owes $4000 to on her Happy Valley Ranch is in need for money for an investment she would like to make, which Mr. Jordan would make a good commission on. He is asking for $100 by the 1st of March so he can give it to the woman by the 5th of March. Mr. Jordan would also like to know if Mr. Russell has heard from Mr. Finch.
The top left corner has a phone number of 4614. The top center and top right informs that the nurseries are located in North Whittier and they sell seed bed stock. The center reads "The Jordan Citrus Nurseries / H.M. Jordan, Proprietor / Orange and Lemon Trees Exclusively / Buds selected from best orchards in East Whittier." To the left of this reads "Trees first-class in every respect." Below the main part of the letter head is a city name of Whittier, California.
There are creases from the letter being folded, a fold in the top left and bottom right corner, discoloration (possibly water damage) on the right side, early signs of foxing in the bottom right corner, creases in the top right corner, and abrasion damage along the folds both front and back. This object is in good condition overall.
