).& A.Opp eiiheiiuer (UNINCORPORATED) ESTABLISHED 1858 SanAntonio,Texas October 18, 1962 Mr. Arthur M. Alpert c/o H. Kempner P. O. Box 119 Galveston, Texas Dear Arthur: As this is probably the height of the cotton picking and ginning season in the Mexicali area, I have been wondering about what kind of a year Mr. Escandon is having. If you have a few spare minutes, would you give me a little information about the crop, how much cotton Harris is taking early in the season, and how he is handling his det to us? As I am going to New York at the end of next week, I should appreciate an answer from you as soon as conveniently possible. Always best personal regards. SincereL yours, Dan Oppenheimer DO:lw
