[Letter from Letter from I. H. Kempner to Kempner Family Members, July 6, 1953]
Letter from I. H. Kempner to Kempner Family Members discussing financial and asset management strategies. He suggests considering the sale of certain properties that could yield a profit of between $450,000 to $5,000,000. He emphasizes the potential benefits of selling other properties where there might be losses, arguing that it's more likely for these prices to improve rather than deteriorate. He specifically recommends giving thought to selling non-productive properties, such as land near an outdoor movie theater and another small tract in Brazoria County, which are currently not yielding returns.
