Dear Ser;
have seen your circular and will tell
you what | think about it, You know
we had three ladies in our party, all
fond Of society and social enjoyments.
We found very nice people at your
hotel in Jacksonville, and enjoyed our
stay very much, but after we got set
tied at Green Cove we were satisfied
to stay there most of the winter. There
were great many pleasant people at
the Clarendon who stayed long time,
and we soon found ourselves feeling
quite at home. If you should build
hotel at Green Cove / am sure you
would have plenty Of business. The
great spring there is an attractive iea-
ture, and brings a great many people.
Both the hotels were crowded all win
ter and many wished to come who
could not get rooms, We visited all the
other places but did not find any we
liked as we'll as Green Cove. We ex-
pect to go TO Florida again in Deem
Der, and there are several ofour friends
going who have not been there before.
DAYTON, ONO, Oct IT, 1873.
Dear SIR
Your circular is before me. / am
glad to see you mean business. | was
very comfortable with you, at the st
James, last winter. / like clean

| am not so particular about location as
some. The climate in Florida is as
near perfection as it can be, In some
respects, prefer st Augustine to
Jacksonville. If they had good rail.
road you could make Long Branch Of
st Augustine in winter, 1t is said to
be the healthicst place in the known
world. 1t wont be many years before
the government will improve the har.
Dor. You know it used TO be one Of the
best o. the coast. It's a fine old place
