Description
A listing for a 10 acre property from A.C. Briggs in Los Angeles, California to Mr. Hart, ca. 1910-1924. Mr. Briggs states that 5 of the acres are planted to avocados and lemons while the other 5 are partly cleared. Mr. Briggs also states that the property is near Cucamonga and carries a mortgage of $2,850 that will run on 7% and then 8% interest for 1 year. Mr. Briggs prices the property at $10,000. In a handwritten postscript, Mr. Briggs asks for Mr. Hart to sell the land on the terms of one half or one third cash in exchange for a discount so that he can make improvements on his land near Whittier. There is a letterhead for the Electro-Surgical Appliance Company on the back side of the document. With creases, holes, minor tears, early signs of foxing, and minor discoloration/acid burns, the object is in good to fair condition overall.
