Description
In this letter from J.B. Owens to his brother, he discusses his visit to Downey to potentially purchase land. He talks about the quality of the land in regards to growing crops such as alfalfa and oranges; the state of the house; and the return on investment. The original text of this letter does not have a year. The year has been notated later in pen, presumably not by the author. It is implied that [Bazil] Rozelle and [his wife] Edith are moving to the Los Angeles area in the future and there is discussion regarding their relocation plans. The Rozelle collection, ranging from the late 1860's to the early 2000's contains correspondence, photographs, official documents, newspaper clippings, and genealogy information pertaining to the family of Bazil Tillson Rozelle. Letters reflect current and family affairs; and agricultural conditions of Compton in that era. Photographs include family vacations in Catalina Island circa 1890s; Compton, Paramount, and Lynwood areas circa 1890s; World War II boat christening from Terminal Island CA circa 1940s; and mink farming in southern California circa 1940s-1950s.
