I am outlining to you herewith the terms under which it will be offered for sale, and I am also enclosing two copies of a prospec­ tus, two maps of the ranch, a list of the equipment thereon, an insurance record of improvements, and a schedule showing existing water rights. > Our price for the ranch is ^260,000.00, this price to include all fanning and ranch machinery, all work horses, all wagons, and ell harnesses. The price does not include the cattle nor such horses as wuld not be included under the category of work horses. However, the purchaser would be given the first opportunity to purchase the cattle and the balance of the horses at a price to be agreed upon. In case of a sale we desire to reserve for ourselves 65% of any royalty income derived by the purchaser or his assigns from oil, gas or other minerals taken from the property. In case of a sale being negotiated through an agent we are pre­ pared to pay a commission of 5% of the sales price of the ranch. We desire to reserve the right to offer the property to other prospects, and in a resulting sale vdiere you would not have con­ tacted the purchaser yourself no commission would be payable to you. This offer will remain in force until Septaaber 1st of this year, and in case you desire additional information and maps of the ranch, please let us know and we shall be glad to supply you with any further data which you may need.

If you demanded one, only on the 90 or rather 89 I received. Unless, as 1 stated to them, they had XXated these 90 head with you. They assured me they hadn't and in fact X believe tliey had to buy a part of these bucks after I made tlie deal as they were not shipped together* In fact I waited several days for the 90 head and was not certain when X left Montana that I would get ths-.i at all* When I paid for the bucks I deducted the $500. down pay and gave them a check In full for the balance. X figured the 90 head X had bought were worth f-5* to $7.50 per head more than tlie others and vesry frankly admit that hadn't X paid $500 on deal would never have touched the others. My opinion proved out for X finally had to give In this fall and sell the 90 head and li»ep 90 of the others. � https://caspercollege.cvlcollections.org/files/original/9490a84419a50f6821caf7e443e29f2a.pdf 160f6820816ac3195f9a19e15bacae13 PDF Text Text CHARLES F.

In addition to a modest adver­ tising campaign vze plan to send a letter to the members of the New York Stock’Exchange and perhaps to those of other nearby exchanges in other cities. The point that we shall stress will be the uncertain political situation and the fact that Mr. Raskob and others have bought large acreages in the west - land, coal, wood, cattle and all necessities that really count. VZe get many western properties for sfile from people whom we do not know. To me the average western ranch is almost impossible to sell in the east. On the other hand the Carey place really is something. You promised to send me an album of photo­ graphs. I should like to have it in time to show to people who may inquire as a result of the work which we plan to do. Please be sure that if we do arrange a sale there will be no question about a commission. If, even in the most remote way, someone through our work buys the property I should like to be paid.

Noyes Co. for a period of one year J This involves a payment by the owner of 5;o commission should we make the sale and an extra 2-^ to our company provided a sale is made through any other broker or by the owner personally. This permits our company to pay the full 5% commission to any other broker effecting a sale, and spurs the effort of an outside broker. If such an arrangement was not made by our company with the owner of the ranch, some other broker might hear of the offering and go direct to the owner, and we would not figure in the commission. The above plan is one which is usually employed in our handling of such properties as the Charles E. Redford Estate, l.N. Phelps iijtokes Estate, the Starbuck Estate and others. We would use every effort, with expenses subject to your approval in the furtherance of the sale. We would also need photographs and all information whiph mighh be of assistance. I suggest that ybu take this matt ar up with the owner of the property. �March Joseph Carey & Brother Cheyenne, Wyoming 1038 Estate Attn - Mr* Karl B* Axt Dear Mr* Axts « Joe has probably advised you of the albumn containing information and photographs of Careyhurst that we had hoped to have long before this* I am sorry to advise you that it is "still in the making", and because of my long absence from the office this matter has been more or less neglected* I am now tn receipt of a letter from my connection in New York making a very urgent request for these photographs, so have decided to forward a group of pictures and follow up later with the albumn if our artistic friend, Tom Carrigan, ever gets it completed* In my letter from New York, Mr* Weaver states that they h vo started a campaign to contact what they may consider prospective buyers for Careyhurst which may drag over a period of time* And, in this connection he has asked me to secure a letter from your office arranging definitely for the payment of a dommission in the event of a sale and that there be no misunderstanding should we com* plete this deal* I am going to ask you to write me a letter quoting your letter of July 16, 1937 as followsI "In case of a sale be negotiated tlirough an agent we are prepared to pay a commission of 5% of sale price of the ranch"* I would like to have this at youi' earliest convenience, Mr Axt, that we may put it on record in New York city, for as he advised, they did not like to proceed andhave this matter come up later* �Joseph Csrey It Bro Estate Page Two with personal regards to you and Joe> Z an Yours truly, ROY B.

Estate tax matters have occupied all of my time during the past two weeks. As we see the proposal of Charles F.

This would mean a 2^ increase over what we had expected to pay in commissions. In view of that fact, it seons to us that we should have some assurance that Charles F.

Dear Roy: I an sending you part of a letter written by us to Charles S. Bedford, 30 Rockefeller Plaze, one of the Standard Oil group. He recently paid us a connisslon for selling the property at Duane, New York even though an­ other broker helped us to put through the deal. "Charles E.

Dear Mr. Bedford: Following our recent conversation, and after consideration it would seem advisable that we get started as soon as possible on your Adirondack property, located at Duane, New York.

It is bordered on the west by the foothills of the Laramie Mountain Range and on the east by the Platte River. The Ranch com­ prises most of the fertile valley of the Box Elder Creek which traverses it for eight miles from a point where it emerges from a mountain canyon to where it empties into the Platte. HISTORY; In the early 70’s when there as yet were few ranches in Wyoming and most of the state was open for location, the first settler established his home on Box Elder Creek. This man was John Hunton, one-time friend of Jim Bridger and other famous characters of the early West. Through chang­ ing ownership during the course of which the ranch holdings wore considerably enlarged, it came into the possession of the Carey interests in 1883 and has been owned and managed by them ever since. LAND OWMED AND CONTROLLED; There are approximately 25,000 acres of lands owned or directly controlled at Careyhurst, as follows; \ Deeded land •••..••••••• ** Purchased vuider contract from State of Wyoming. .................. Leased Prom From Prom land State of Wyoming ... 1,840 Higgins Estate Trust . 9,960 individuals • • • « , l>500 6,914 acres 5,198 13,300 * ” 26,412 acres “(MJ (Approximately 75^ of the purchase price of these state lands has been paid.) IRRIGATION; There are in the neighborhood of 4,000 acres of land under irrigation at the' present time, the water being sup­ plied by the natural flow of Box Elder Creek and by three reservoirs providing storage for late water. An additional reservoir, the natural site for which is available, would if built supply an additional 2,000 acres with water. Water-rights covering the entire flow of the creek through the ranch are hold by virtue of Water Appropriations from the State of Wyoming, These appropriations have the \ J y �same value as a deed as under the Wyoming laws - water rights granted cannot be sold or separated from the lands for which they were appropriated. CROPS; The claim that farming by irrigation is the best kind of farming because it eliminates the uncertainty of moisture through rainfall Is well borne out by the successful farming carried on at Careyhurst during the past thirty years. The ranch valley is very fertile and raises practically all varieties of grain. The quality of the crops produced has been exceptionally high and when exhibited the grains pro­ duced have carried off numerous awards and prizes at the National Irrigation Congress, Careyhurst won the first prize for the best display of small grains from an irrigation state. At the Lewis & Clark Centennial, the ranch received a gold medal for the best san^ilc of Russian Spelt, Alfalfa Seed, White Oats, Wheat and V/intor Rye. At the St. Louis Exposition a gold medal was awarded for Oats, Alfalfa and Russian Spelt. The ranch has put up as much as 7,500 tons of hay, but since part of the acreage has been put into grain and ap­ proximately 300 acres are used for sugar beets, the hay pro­ duction has boon cut down to about 4,000 tons. Production of various grains, principally barley and oats with a lesser production of wheat, has yielded an average annual total crop of 25,000 bushels. Sugar beets havebeen produced at the ranch successfully, the production having been carried on either by tho corporation itself or by tenant farmers, and the average annual yield has been 14 tons per aero. Those production records are based on normal growing conditions. While the drouth of the past three years made Itself felt over a largo portion of the western mountain and prairie states, it had only little effect on Careyhurst. Tho supply of irrigation water obtained from Sox Elder Greek held up well enough to result only in small curtailment of crop production, and there was enough feed produced to not only carry on normal live stock operations but to take care in addition of a larger than usual portion of our registered cattlo which had to be moved from the southeastern part of tho state on account of a shortage of hay. Two splendid orchards are on the place where apples, crabapples, and plums arc grown. Nearly every variety of garden vegetables is raised successfully at Careyhurst. BUILDINGS; The improvements at Careyhurst represent the finest type of ranch buildings. They are built substantially of the best materials, are conveniently arranged and are kept in the best state of repair. There are four separate sets of ranch buildings conveniently located for the operation of the property, and in addition there are three sets of �quarters for tenants who ar© farming a part of the property on shareSt At the main or Home Ranch, there is a fourteen-room, stone dwelling, containing a largo living room, sun-porch, six bedrooms, throo baths, two servants* rooms, together with other rooms. This houso is sot in beautiful surround­ ings of stately trees, flower bods, lawns and shrubs. The stables and cow barns are of frame, large, wellarranged and equipped. There arc bunk houses for employees, a mess house, blacksmith shop, machinery shed, office build­ ings and dwellings for both a foreman and a manager. At the Lower Ranch three miles distant from the Home Ranch there is an eight-room frame house, stables and sheds, bunk houses, blacksmith shop, large granary, machine shed and dwelling house for the foreman. The buildings on the other two ranches, while not as large or extensive, are ample for the operation of these ranches. Electric light and power are supplied to the Home Ranch and Lower Ranch by the Mountain States Power Company, whose main line traverses the property, A private telephone line connects the various ranches, together with long distance service over the Bell lines, LIVE STOCK; The ranch is especially well adapted for feeding cattle or sheep. The finest type of beef cattle have been raised here, as well as registered Herefords. In the past when only hay was produced at the ranch, as many as 6,000 head of cattle were wintered. With the amount of grain raised at the pre­ sent time it is estimated that 3,000 head of cattle, or a cor­ responding number of sheep, could be fattened and finished at the ranch. The ranch valley affords wonderful shelter for live stock. There are a great many trees along Box Elder Creek thickly grown together and extending right to the feed lots, providing shelter that is actually more effective than sheds, OUTDOOR RECREATION ALW WILD GAME; The broad expanse of the ranch reaching from th© fertile lowlands along the Platte River to the distant rugged hill tops of the Laramie Mountain Range, affords outdoor recreation of every kind. The deep pools of Box Elder and the waters of the reservoirs offer most enjoyable swimming. Bridle paths at every part of the ranch afford pleasant exercise, either in following the stream thru the lovely valley or taking th© rider on more exciting trails over the foothills or into the mountain canyons. For the horseman, the hunter and fisherman, Careyhurst is a veritable paradise. Box Elder affords splendid trout fishing. Sage hens, grouse, and Mongolian Pheasant are on th© ranch in plentiful numbers, ' The three reservoirs afford �duck hunting# Elk come into the ranch in th© fall and winter and there is a small herd of buffalo located on the ranch. The ranch itself has already been made a game preserve so far as elk and buffalo are concorned. If desired by the owners, the development of a Game Preserve could be carried out much farther than It is nt present# CLIMATE; Careyhurst at an altitude of 5.000 feet (approximately the same as that of Denver, Colorado) has an ideal climate# Contrary to the general idea regarding much of the Rocky Mountain region, winters are not severe and the really cold spells are usually of short duration# The dryness of the atmos­ phere not only lessens the severity of cold waves in the winter, but also ameltorates the hot periods of summer time# The health­ giving bracing qualities of the Rocky Mountain climate are favorably known everywhere# Careyhurst, at a moderate altitude nestled in Its lovely, well-protected valley, enjoys these ideal climatic conditions at their best# RAILROAD AND HIGHWAY FACILITIES: The ranch is traversed by two railroads - the Chicago, Burlington & Quincy and the Chicago & Northwestern# The latter road maintains a passenger and freight depot and telegraph office on tho ranch# There Is a beet dump at this station, built to toko care of the beet crop produced at the ranch# Both of tho railroads maintain stockyards and loading facilities at their stations# There is direct train service to Cheyenne, Denver, Omaha, Kansas City, Chicago and Billings# Tho Yellowstone Highway, main artery of north and south travel of tho west, runs thru the center of the ranch# Being probably Wyoming’s most important highway, it Is kept in ex­ cellent condition throughout all seasons# The distances over this oiled highway between Careyhurst and some of tho prin­ cipal cities of Wyoming and Colorado are: 35 miles from Casper, V/yoming (center of oil activities in this state); 160 miles from Cheyenne (Capitol of Wyoming); 260 miles from Denver, Colorado# �CAREYHURST RANCH Adjudication of Water Kights Based on Decrees of the Board of Control of the State of Wyoming NAME OP DITCH PRIORITY DATE OP DECREE CU.

Mr. Hoy Minty, Hotel Henning, Casper, V^'yoming. , Dear Mr. Minty: 1 have had a conference with Mr. Fisher P. Weaver in regard to the sale of• the t^arey Hanch. As you will note from the leaflet enclosed, I am specializing in the sale of ranches in this area. I have matured a p4.an here which has been quite successful and if you want me to undertake the sale of it, I will be pleased to confer with you further. My commission is 5^ net, and I would want an exclusive handing of it for a reasonable time. I have a very good description of your property, including a list of your cattle and the sales and profit therefrom, general ranch expense, grain production, etc. This was furnished me by the Hogan brothers of nainneapolis, sometime ago. I received a letter from them, saying that you had advised them that the ranch was off the market. 1 mention this as I do not w'ant any complications with any other brokers, as I aim to deal directly with the owner. If you are interested, please let me know, and i will be pleased to outline a plan of selling, which 1 believe will appeal to you.

Xt Is wonderfully located for a stock proposition as It extends from the Platte river south to the top of the Laramie aoiuxtalns, which mountain range affords a mountain summer range for the stock* The ranch Is very productive, and at this time there is a herd of cattle, which are superior to most cattle In this country,on the ranch* The living conditions are Ideal. �Mr* Grant Van Sant Faga Two After conferring with Mra* Carey or her •on* X will write you further regarding the deal. I thank you for your letter* Xours very truly* RBM/h ROX B. MINTX �OAREZHURST RANCH LOCATION: Careyhurst (or as It la known among live stock men, the S 0 Ranch) is located in Converse County, Wyoming, about 35 miles east of Casper, and 18 miles west of Douglas* It is bordered on the west by the foothills of the Larainle Mountain Range and on the east by the Platte River* The Ranch com­ prises most of the fertile valley of the Box Elder Creek which traverses it for eight miles from a point where it emerges from a mountain canyon to where It empties into the Platte* HISTORY; In the early 70’s when there as yet were few ranches in Wyoming and most of the state was open for location, the first settler established his home on Box Elder Creek. This man was John Hunton, one-time friend of Jim Bridger and other famous characters of the early West, Through chang­ ing ownership during the course of which the ranch holdings were considerably enlarged. It came into the possession of the Carey interests In 1883 and has been owned and managed by them ever since* LAND OWNED AND CONTROLLED; There are approximately 25,000 acres of lands owned or directly controlled at Careyhurst, as follows: Deeded land ••*••*****•* 6,914 acres Purchased under contract from State of Wyoming, *••••••* 5,198 " land State of Wyoming * • • 1,840 Higgins Estate Trust • 9,960 Individuals * * * * * 1,500 13,300 ” Leased Prom From Prom 25,412 acres ** (Approximately 75% of the purchase price of these state lands has been paid*) IRRIGATION; There are in the neighborhood of 4,000 acres of land under irrigation at the present time, the water being sup­ plied by the natural flow of Box Elder Creek and by three reservoirs providing storage for late water. An additional reservoir, the natxiral site for which is available, would if built supply an additional 2,000 acres with waters Water-rights covering the entire flow of the creek through the ranch are held by virtue of Water Appropriations from the State of Wyoming, These appropriations have the �saioB value as a deed as under the Wyoming laws • water rights granted cannot be sold or separated from the lands for which they were appropriated® CROPS: The claim that farming by Irrigation Is the best kind of farming because it eliminates the uncertainty of moisture through rainfall Is well borne out by the successful farming carried on at Careyhurst during the past thirty years. The ranch valley is very fertile and raises practically all varieties of grain. The quality of the crops produced has been exceptionally high and when exhibited the grains pro­ duced have carried off numerous awards and prizes at the National Irrigation Congress, Careyhurst won the first prize for the best display of small grains from an irrigation state. At the Lewis & Clark Centennial, the ranch received a gold medal for the best sanqile of Russian Spelt, Alfalfa Seed, White Oats, Wheat and Winter Rye. At the St. Louis Exposition a gold medal was awarded for Oats, Alfalfa and Russian Spelt. The ranch has put up as much as 7,500 tons of hay, but since part of the acrecige has been put into grain and ap­ proximately 300 acres are used for sugar beets, the hay pro­ duction has been cut down to about 4,000 tons. Production of various grains, principally barley and oats with a leaser production of wheat, has yielded an average annual total crop of 25,000 bushels. Sugar beets havebcen produced at the ranch successfully, the production having been carried on either by the corporation itself or by tenant farmers, and the average annual yield has been 14 tons per acre. These production records are based on normal growing conditions. While the drouth of the past throe years made itself felt over a largo portion of the western mountain and prairie states. It had only little effect on Careyhurst. The supply of irrigation water obtained from Box Elder Creek held up well enough to result only in small curtailment of crop production, and there was enough feed produced to not only carry on normal live stock operations but to take care in addition of a larger than usual portion of our registered cattle which had to be moved from the southeastern part of the state on account of a shortage of hay. Two splendid orchards are on the place where apples, crabapples, and plums are grown. Nearly every variety of garden vegetables is raised successfully at Careyhurst. BUILDINGS; The improvements at Careyhurst represent the finest typo of ranch buildings. They are built substantially of the best materiala> are conveniently arranged and ore kept in the best state of repair. There are four separate sets of ranch buildings conveniontly located for the operation of the property, and in addition there are three sets of �quarters for tenants who are farming a port of the property on shares« At the main or Home Ranch, there is a fourteen-room, stone dwelling, containing a large living room, sun-porch, six bedrooms, throe baths, two servants’ rooms, together with other rooms# This house is sot in beautiful surround­ ings of stately trees, flower beds, lawns and shrubs. The stables and cow barns are of frame, largo, wellarranged and equipped. There aro bunk houses for employees, a mess house, blacksmith shop, machinery shed, office build­ ings and dwellings for both a foreman and a manager. At the Lower Ranch three miles distant from the Home Ranch there is an eight-room frame house, stables and sheds, bunk houses, blacksmith shop, large granary, machine shed and dwelling house for the foreman. The buildings on the other two ranches, while not as large or extensive, are ample for the operation of these ranches. Electric light and power are supplied to the Home Ranch and Lower Ranch by the Mountain States Power Company, whose main line traverses the property. A private telephone line connects the various ranches, together with long distance service over the Bell lines. LIVE STOCK: The ranch is especially well adapted for feeding cattle or sheep. The finest type of beef cattle have been raised here, as well as registered Herefords. In the past when only hay was produced at the ranch, as many as 6,000 head of cattle were wintered. With the amount of grain raised at the pre­ sent time it is estimated that 3,000 head of cattle, or a cor­ responding number of sheep, could be fattened and finished at the ranch. The ranch valley affords wonderful shelter for live stock. There are a great many trees along Box Elder Creek thickly grown together and extending right to the feed lots, providing shelter that is actually more effective than sheds. OUTDOOR RECREATION AND WILD GAME; The broad expanse of the ranch reaching from the fertile lowlands along the Platte River to the distant rugged hill tops of the Laramie Mountain Range, affords outdoor recreation of every kind. The deep pools of Box Elder and the waters of the reservoirs offer most enjoyable swimming. Bridle paths at every part of the ranch afford pleasant exercise, either in following the stream thru the lovely valley or taking the rider on more exciting trails over the foothills or into the mountain canyons. For the horseman, the hunter and fisherman, Careyhurst is a veritable paradise. Box Elder affords splendid trout fishing. Sage hens, grouse, and Mongolian Pheasant are on the ranch in plentiful numbers. The three reservoirs afford �duck hunting# Elk come into the ranch in the fall and winter and there is a email herd of buffalo located on the ranch. The ranch itself has already been made a game preserve so far as elk and buffalo are concerned# If desired by the owners, the development of a Game Prosorvo could be carried out much, farther than It is at present, CLIMATE; Careyhurst at an altitude of 5.000 foot (approximately the same as that of Denver, Colorado) has on ideal climate. Contrary to the general idea regarding much of the Rocky Mountain region, winters are not severe and the really cold spells are usually of short duration. The dryness of the atmos­ phere not only lessens the severity of cold waves in the winter, but also amelbrates the hot periods of summer time. The health­ giving bracing qualities of the Rocky Mountain climate are favorably known everywhere, Careyhurst, at a moderate altitude nestled in its lovely,'well-protected valley, enjoys these ideal climatic conditions at their best, RAILROAD AND HIGHWAY, FACILITIES: The ranch is traversed by two railroads - tho Chicago, Burlington & Quincy and tho Chicago & Northwestern, Tho latter road maintains a passenger and freight depot and telegraph office on tho ranch. There is a beet dump at this station, built to take care of tho beet crop produced at the ranch. Both of the railroads maintain stockyards and loading facilities at their stations. There is direct train service to Choyenno, Denver, Omaha, Kansas City, Chicago and Billings, Tho Yellowstone Highway, main artery of north and south travel of the west, runs thru the center of the ranch. Being probably Wyoming’s most Important highway, it Is kept in ex­ cellent condition throughout all seasons. The distances over this oiled highway between Careyhurst and some of tho prin­ cipal cities of Wyoming and Colorado arc: 55 miles from Casper, V/yoming (center of oil activities in this state); 160 miles from Cheyenne (Capitol of Wyoming); 260 miles from Denver, Colorado, �CAREYHORST RANCH Adjudication of Water Kights Based on Decrees of the Board of Control of the State of Wyoming HAKE OF DITCH DATE OF DECREE PRIORITY CU.

Minty, Casper, Wyoming. My dear Mr. Minty: I thank you for your letter of the 3rd inst. I I have delayed answering it in order to confer with Mr. Weaver and Mr. Mighill of the C. R. Noyes Co. of this City. Mr. Noyes has been in the hospital due to an injury to his foot and is not available. However, I have some rather definite Ideas about some phases of this matter as follows: This ranch has been "hawked” around the Country. 1 have had it submitted to me not only by Mr. Hogan but by two real estate dealers in Denver, and it has been mentioned to me in two other letters. You have a meritorious property, but I am not interested in working on anything unless 1 have exclusive option or listing for a reasonable period of time, say eight months or possibly a year. I think Mr. Mighill or Mr. Weaver will tell you that I have sold large ranches and that I have a system of selling in this market, which 1 believe is effective. I am quite busy on other properties and I do not want to take on this ranch attractive as it seems, from the standpoint of production, unless my plan of opera­ tion is complied with reasonable limitation. I am unable to become interested in this property on any other basis than a 5% net commission. You can see, 1 believe, that it would not pay me to go to the expense necessary to properly present this Ranch in the local market on anything less than that amount. I am enclosing a leaflet giving you some idea of what 1 am doing with references, and I can also refer you to Mr. Charles Betcher of Denver, President of the Great Western Sugar Company. I own a ranch, free and clear of all encumbrances in the '=‘an Luis Valley, Colorado, worth around $500,000.00, which is not for sale as 1 have now got it up to an income producing position, which makes it a satisfactory investment. Mr. Betcher owns the railroad running through the property above mentioned, and X have had occasion to become acquainted with him. I know this ranch Is a meritorious one or I would not consider it at all and i hope we may be able to get together along the lines above mentioned.

Minty Henning Hotel Casper, Wyoming Dear Roy: I am returning your correspondence with Mr. Van Sant regarding the Careyhurst ranch. I note Mr. Van Sant mentions in one of his letters that he was originally contacted by Hogan Eros, in Minneapolis. On July 25, 1938 we were informed by Mr. Hogan that they were dealing with Mr. Van Sant and a Mr. J. C. Kriendler for the sale of the property. He also mentioned the possibility of the above mentioned men trying to deal through third parties. While we desire very much to conclude the sale of the ranch, we are particularly cautious to have a clear understand­ ing regarding the commission to be paid in case of sale. Ob­ viously if we gave Mr. Van Sant an exclusive listing and they were able to consumraate a sale,Hogan Bros, would claim a commision as they originally Infoimed Mr. Van Sant that the praperty was for sale. I wish you would call these facts to Mr. Van Sant’s attention and see if he has any suggestions. We have withdrawn the listing of the ranch from most of the real estate outfits, including Hogan Bros., with whom it was fornerly listed, as we have the same idea regarding the propositiont being kicked around the country as did Mr. Van Sant. . you have any personal and financial references regard­ ing Mr. Van Sant, I would appreciate your sending then to us.

Dear Mr. ^an Sanfc:- I G.ra enclosing herewith copy of letter Just received from the Carey Estate. It the deal as Mr. Carey’s position in would appear from Mr. Carey’s letter that it stands today is rather complicated, and attitude regarding the proposition and their the matter Is, of course, justified. There are so many appearing in the picture, who have had more or less to do with the offering of this ranch property, that unless Mr. Carey Is very eautloua, he may find himself obligated to several In the event of a Bale by anyone of the parties who haa been Interested. However, after rending Hr. Carey’s letter carefully, you may hrve scmethlng to suggest. At any rate, I will be glod to hear from you and I assure you that I will mnke every effort to get the matter straight ened out so that we can go ahead with the deal feeling that wo have the "right of way".
