Letter from Harris L. Kempner, Jr. to J. Jeff Wood remitting a copy of the 1940 capital stock tax return. Kempner provides instructions on where the copies are to be sent after completion.

Photograph of a water spreading system, constructed from earth levees, to spread creek water evenly over a blue grama grass range to promote growth of grass and prevent erosion. A few heads of cattle are grazing in this field. The back of the photograph proclaims, "Water spreading system. System of earth levees for spreading creek water over blue grama grass range. These levees distribute water evenly over range and promote growth of grass. They also serve to reduce velocity of water and help prevent sheet and gully erosion."

This image was scanned from the negative of the photograph. It shows the buildings of the Blackwell School in Marfa, Texas. In the foreground, the ground is bare dirt and the buildings are in the background. There are at least three different white buildings with many windows and doors. The building in the middle has the name of the school visible over the door. There are shrubs planted against the walls of the buildings. To the right, there is a flagpole (but no flag), a bare tree, and some other shrubs. A handwritten note on the back of the print says, "Blackwell School about 1940."
