ENDORSEMENT OF THE
HON. J. ROSS BROWNE.

SAN Francisco, November 28, 1874
WIN. II. MARTIN, General Agent California
Immigrant Union-Dear Sir:-I have just vls-
tied the "Centinela and Sausal Redondo"
Rancho, and driven over the land described in
your advertisement. With all my experience
in the southern part of California, have seen
nothing to surpass this tract in fertility of soil,
beauty OF location, and advantage or easy ac-
cess and salubrity OF climate. For purposes OF
colonization, l know of no large body OF land
so near a growing commercial centre, in Cali
fornia or elsewhere, TO equal it. No part OF IT
is unavailable for farms, orchards or home
steads. IL can be subdivided into lots ranging
from five acres to several hundred acres and
every acre of it can be made productive. Water
is abundant and convenient. The land Is
subject to easy irrigation; and IL can vouch for
the fact that ii Will produce anything that
flourishes in Los Angeles or Santa Barbara
counties. 1t is my confident opinion that the
value of shares in this magnificent tract will
be quadrupled within two years-such is the
extraordinary influx of immigration to the
vicinity of Los Angeles at the present time.
Wishing you success in your undertaking,
am, very truly yours, j. Ross BROWNE.
