Dear Sir: I think
I now have an opportunity to
close out your Oceana Co. land,
I priced it at $10.00 per acre or
$1200.00 on reasonable terms, say 1/4
down, but [1 2 & 3 years?]. [?]
thinks it too much, but wants
to know what I will do for all cash.

I think if I can get $1000.00
cash, that it is best to let it go,
but before making any offer to
sell, I thought it best to write
you. [?] will be [?]
next month. Write soon as
you can.

Yours Truly
J. H. Moores
