I agree.Knickerbocker was asking Bracken to investigate the Winterwood property as the president of the Railroad company was interested in properties that they had not yet managed to acquire.

On Line, March 6, 1929. (Personal) Mr. W. R. Bracken: Mr. Gray spoke to me in Salt Lake City yesterday about the property said to have been acquired by T. J. Lawrence, for a hotel site, having a fine spring and good quality of water. He asked what I knew about the size of the spring, and to what use the water had been put prior to the time Lawrence acquired the land. Told Mr. Gray I did not know anything abut the Winterwood property nor the spring, but would make inquiry of you, and ask you to supply the details. I think what was passing in the President's mind, was the presence of a water supply in the vicinity of Las Vegas, which we have failed to acquire. Will appreciate it if you will give me a brief history of the Winterwood property, what you know of the spring and the use to which it was put in the past. F. H. Knickerbocker
