m n j w V G'Melveny & Myers Title Insurance Building 433 South Spring Street Los Angeles I3j California Attention: M r, Franklin T . Hamilton Dear M r. Hamilton: Re: Las Vegas Valley Hater District After receiving your letter of May 22nd, I realised that I went off half cocked in my letter of May 20th. The form of deed marked Exhibit B attached to and made a part of the agreement (draft 5-8-53) is ample in my opinion to convey the water rights. I got off on the wrong track by reading at the Title Company the form of instrument transferring real and personal property which was sent to the title company by M r. Renwick, to ascertain if in the Title Company's opinion the wording thereof affected any of the property that was being retained by the railroad company. The first draft of the contract did not have an Exhibit B attached thereto, although it was mentioned as being attached. Very truly yours. Leo A. McNamee LAM:bcs Copy to: M r. Thos A. Campbell Las Vegas, Nevada M r. E. E. Bennett c/o Union Pacific Railroad Co. 422 West 6th Street Lot * ngeles 14, California
