1. “October 7, 1965 Mr. Ray Hendricks Roscoe, Texas Dear Mr. Hendricks: I wrote you earlier pertaining to your 960 acres in Dallam County. Also, talked with you on the phone about the possibility of selling the place for you. There is a party I wish to talk with about the place, but thought that perhaps you should be contacted before going ahead. If you will sell the place, would you advise me by return letter, stating price, terms and allotments. Did I understand that you were guaranteeing the water ? Will you do some trading on this place ? Have been thinking that I would get down to see you before now, but have been trying to get some ranch deals working. Enclosed self-addressed, stamped envelope for your convenience. Very truly yours, /s/ H. B. Owen”

2. “October 11, 1965 H. B. Owen Box 658 Canyon, Texas Mr. Owen: The 960 acres in Dallam County is for sale. The price is $225.00 per acre net to me. If you sell the place, you will need to add your commission on top of this. I can take a large down payment at this time and would require as much down as possible. The allotment status is 100% milo. I will not guarantee water, but the place has good water on two sides of it and I feel that water is a certainty. I will not do any trading. Sincerely, /s/ Ray Hendricks”
