- Description
- In this letter, Turnbull talks about a trip he is going to take to Los Angeles (he writes from San Diego County) to look at some land. He also talks about several land grants in southern California including Rancho La Puente and Rancho Azusa; he also describes San Gabriel Valley in general and mentions some water problems in the area. The letter includes a hand-drawn map of the area surrounding Azusa and the La Puente Rancho. On the map, Turnbull writes "The land lying between Spadra [Pomona] and the Gov lands opposite Booth Ranch is the Rancho La Puente the Grant of whom your uncle bought" and "the squatters take the water out a the mouth of River carry across Dalton's Ranch on to the Gov lands the surplus reaching the Booth Ranch."
