    Approx. 90 items: letters to Club members, over H.E. Downing's signature, explaining the Club's "crushing load of indebtedness" and notifying them that Vermejo Ranch had been acquired by Southwest Land Co.--there are copies of page 1 of these letters addressed to individually addressed to Club members ; letters from Club members responding to the information in the notification letter. Most of the responses are businesslike and subdued but at least one, from William May Garland (L.A. realtor), dated 7/8/1939, is quite bitter. He writes in part, "it would appear to me that (we) have been duped and defrauded to the extent of $5,000.00 each through misrepresentation or camouflage." Also some related materials.
