The materials in Box 22 include correspondence, most notably with Anthony Ivins and the commissioner of the General Land Office, affidavits, notices of location, quitclaim deeds and other documents dealing with property matters, some miscellaneous water filings, and expense sheets and books for the Parashaunt Ranch. The extensive files on Nutter's scrip filings in the Arizona Strip, and Virginia and Howard Price's efforts to cash in the remaining scrip certificates are found in Section VIII, Lands. Items relating to Arizona can also be found in Section VI, Ranch Hands, and Section VII, Cattle and Livestock. Box 23 contains all materials from the short lived Nutter Livestock Company. Included is a small amount of correspondence, the articles of incorporation, chattel and real estate mortgages, and other miscellaneous corporate papers. Most of the materials in Box 23 relate to the sale of the Parashaunt Ranch and the consequent dissolution of the Nutter Livestock Company in 1936-1937.
