Dear Sr.
The building Of a large hotel TO &c.
comodate The Numerous visitors who
go 70 Florida for the winter Is a matter
Of interest to the hotels Of Charleston
and Savannah, as tourists stop at these
points going and returning, ] have
noticed that the preference is given to
st Augustine as having the finest eli.
mate in Florida. ! wish you great sue
cess in this laudabIe enterprise and
shall be glad to assist you in any way
in my power,

Dear sr:
IN my opinion, with the present
means Of communication, Jacksonville
is tho place for your projected hotel
Had St Augustine a direct railroad it
might be preferable. II was a notice
able fact, at the st James, last winter
that very large proportion were
pleasure travellers. This kind Of bust
ness will increase rapidly if hotels are
built to satisfy its requirements. -
OcALA, Fla. Oct. :, 1878,
Dear Sir.
In reply to your circular / would
Recommend to your notice SILVER
Spring, as being the very best location
in the stae for a good hotel This
spring is the greatest curiosity in the
south. Thousands visit it annually.
! The Ocklawaha steamers were crowd.
ed last winter with tourists, who would
have remained much longer in the vi
cinity of Silver Spring could they have
found accommodations. Game is very
plenty in this vicinity and the lakes
near by abound with wild geese and
ducks. Alligator shooting is the iavoritC
sport of tourists oil the Ocklawaha
river. Before deciding upon anyother
point you should visit Silver Spring.

Dear Sir;
You hotel enterprise meets with my
hearty approval Whether built a
Jacksonville or st Augustine it will un
doubleday be a good investment and
should like to become a stakeholder
Your success at the st James proves t.
me that you are the right man for tn,
undertaking. ! wish you the fulles
snccess. = ~
TALLAHASSEE, FLA, Oct. 7, 1878.
Dear Sir:
AS to the first point of inquiry, "Florid
as winter resort" your experience at tn
ST James, doubtless satisfied you that
great many more people visit Florid
during the winter than there are hote
accommodations for. Florida is the onl
state likely to become a permanent win
resort. On this point presume ther
is no difference of opinion. Now as {
"the most desirable location for large
first-class hotel" Tallahassee is the CAPT
tai of the state. 1t is beautifully situate
surrounded by magnificent rollin
country. 1t has numerous aud beautifl
parks, and the roads in all directions Al
the best in the state, Its residents al
sociable and hospitable, They would il
terest themselves in a hotel cnterpri,
and give it their sympathy and influence
| aud if necessary donate any site thi
= might be selected for that purpose
view Of all the circumstances you mus
! ] think, come to the conclusion that theI
g IS no place that presents stronger local a
fractions to northern visitors that Tall
hasse. Ali that is necessary to make
, the leading winter resort at the south
= large and comfortable hotels, suited
e the tastes and requirements of pleasul
e travellers. That such hotels, built in ia
5 lahassee, would pay a large interest upC
Z their cost there is no question.
