If you buy the ranch and cattle without the springs, someone might buy up and fence in the other springs or the Stewarts could do so. In either case the cattle would be confined to the home ranch almost entirely on account of lack of water on the range. On completion of field work, X will furnish a plat showing in detail all information gathered therefrom, and which will Include areas of all enclosures such as pastures, hay lands, orchards, etc. In view of the fact that my home is in this country, and to save me from making enemies of the Stewarts for stating truths, X trust you will see fit to request your principals to treat all of above letter as confidential. Tours very truly, (Signed) X. HcWlilla IT.8.Deputy Surveyor,
