This document is a letter from a Land Assessment Committee to Hajj Mahrous Bseiso. The letter makes reference to a particular parcel of land owned by Bseiso and an inspection that was done to said land by the Committee. Among other things, the letter describes the location of the land parcel and the net value of the land in LP or “Palestinian Pounds”. This letter is just one of many documents that prove Mr. Mahrous Bseiso was the documented owner of a large amount of land throughout Palestine. Mr. Mahrous Bseiso owned so much land in fact; he could rightfully be compared to a “John D. Rockefeller Jr.” when considering the vast amount of real estate ownership and development that took place in Palestine during Bseiso’s lifetime.
