On Motion for Rehearing.
Appellees in rehearing motion for first time urge two additional grounds for holding description in writing sued on insufficient, namely:
1. That state in which land is located is not given.
2. That character of leases is not stated.
The date line in the proposal, which was not copied in our original opinion, reads: “Cisco, Texas, June 15,1926.” This raises the presumption that the lands were in Texas. Easterling v. Simmons (Tex. Civ. App.) 293 S. W. 690; 18 C. J. p. 185, note 62.
The latter part of the proposal, beginning with the words, “a well to be drilled,” clearly indicates that the subject-matter of the proposal was oil leases.
Motion overruled.
