Description
An uncashed check and statement from General Petroleum Corporation of California to Walter P. Temple, 15 February 1929. The payment was for the January 1929 royalty on the oil lease of Julia Davis Cruz at Misión Vieja/Old Mission. Typically, Temple received the total royalty and then divided it into shares held by Cruz' siblings and himself, though why this check went uncashed is unknown. Slightly detached, with edge tears, soiling, folds, a few creases and some stains, the condition is fair.
