Mr. G. W. Holt, Los Vegas, Nevada. Dear Sir:- I have been quite busy since my arrival home and have been unable to meet Mrs. Stewart. Mr. Whittemore explained to me that nothing definite could be done for some time yet, so all I have to say is for you to continue as you are until further instructions are sent you. I presume Mrs. Stewart has written Will instructions, and I would suggest that you advise, him to sell the apples and potatoes and render an account to you, if he thinks there is danger of loss by keep­ing them on hand; also the work of ploughing, seeding, pruning, etc. that should be done, might be done with the understanding that my people pay for it if the purchase is made; if not, then the Stewarts stand it. You are in a position to know what is absolutely required as well as Will and there should be no reason for loss by neglecting to do what is required, and in case my people don’t take the property, I don’t want the Stewarts to be at any loss by neglect at this time. * S a lt Lake C it y , Utah., December 29th, 1902, Yours truly,
