Dear Colonel Watson:
The regional director of the Water Resources Division of the Department of the Interior was here yesterday, and is making a more complete study of the quantity of water and the method of tapping it, prior to the filing of his report. However, he has assured me of the following facts: a driven well would be next to impossible, due to its expense and the excessive depth required, nor does he feel it desirable, in view of what he considers a splendid source of water in the springs. He is guaging the flow at present, and assures me that it is more than adequate for your requirements, and heartily recommends this source.
I write this just to reassure you pending receipt of his report.
With seasons best wishes to you and Mrs. Watson, I am
Cordially yours,
Milton L. Gregg
Dear Cary.
Frances says that Gertrude told her confidentially, not to listen to you about that farm at Warrenton , so that settled that proposition—In fact, Frances now claims you are trying to palm off that Barton Payne property on us—I don’t think her aspersions are quite justified but I must report the facts as they exist today.—What do you think of the spring proposition as described below? I want to thank you for a notice from Locke’s that they are shipping three hats to me as present from you
yours
Pa
I deny all of this!!
