In reply to Mr. Russell, Mr. Hargrave states that he has applied for commission as a real estate broker, and that he would like for Mr. Russell to handle a few properties. Mr. Hargrave states that he has enclosed copies of listings for two lemon groves, and also discusses Mr. Holloway's ranch and a 9.14 acre avocado ranch belonging to Dr. Keller, both of which are part of the General Petroleum Yorba Linda lease. Mr. Hargrave explains that Dr. Keller has priced his ranch at $7,000 per acre and would either like to sell 5 acres, or sell the whole property while retaining a half interest in its oil rights. Mr. Hargrave notes that Dr. Keller does not want to pay a full commission. Mr. Hargrave states that he will contact Mr. Russell again once he receives his real estate agent certificate.
