jf’ . * Mr, fj$. | eDer$ott | las 7©gas P*Q*, linoola Go., Sev&da. Dear Sir:- I beg to acknowledge receipt of your valued favor of the 12th inst. fror Searchlightt contents carefully noted. lote you have mat with a good deal of opposition in regard to the petition, and a great deal of it is created by McITr-mara, the" defeated Republican nominee for District Attorney, i.t the same time I note you secured a few signatures and hope you r ay get sore. Also note you met ‘with good success at Good' Springs. I wot© you several days ago to las Yog: s in regard to matters at the raneh, in regard to having kchilliaras run off the lines with you, etc. also wrote you in regard to the cattle, that in case there was not sore than 500 head all tv Id, that the Stewart people relinquish any claim they s§| have for 50.head. I hope you will get the matter worked out alright. It was unfortunate that ^hittemoro ever allowed ther to : alee any claim to any cattle or horses. It was ry brother's understanding that they wore to sell everything clean and get out. I also understand there are so: e people gone out from here to ?take up, or purchase, some land adjoining the Yegas Ranch, which of course would be- dry. land. 1 wish you. would lufoorai look these dry lands over and let : e know what you think of them. I hardly think though, that it would psy us to buy them even at a low price as we have more land now than we have water. However, would like to hfve gl statement from you. Pleas© lot me hear from you as soon as you get settled up with the Stewarts. Yery respectfully yours, i
