Mr. Carl G. Fisher, ,

Long Island, N. Y.
Dear Mr. Fisher:
i
Reported to Yr. Fletcher in Jacksonville on my way down here , ' '
at which time he ,had not decided on the purchase of any par- 3
ticular tract , nor did he seem to know in just what part of 1
the State he intended to acquire any property, although he
had4preference for the West Coast. Mr. Fletcher stated that
as soon as he had located a desirable tract , he would notify ,
either Mr. Kohlhepp or myself., but-I-._have_heard„ nothing from
/him since.
// In regard to Montauk which I understand has been purchased, \\
/ '- )11.1d suggest that a complete topographic survey be made
/ covering the entire property except portions already covered
) 1
by the map made by the Long Island Railroad Engineers. Such % 1
a map should be made before even tentative locations of im- I
provements are considered; also the establishment of an ade-,'
,quate nursery as soon as possible under the- supervision of
Fred Hoerger would be desirable. +.
.
In the event_that_-any large construction jobs are planned
along the shores of Great Pond, it might be advantageous to
cut a channel from this pond to the wound so that materials
and supplies can be lightered to the location.
Suggestions as to development possibilities previous to par- r1
chasing were thought to be more within the province of the
salesman rather than a member of your organization, and were
omitted for obvious reasons.
I would like to take this opportunity to offer my sincere
sympathy in the loss of your mother. It was fortunate that H ,
she could be with you so long, and I am sure that very few
mothers have their lives made as comfortable and enjoyable -
as Mrs. Fisher 's life must have been.
Very truly yours,
1. Z RIN 4D. ',

Mr. Carl G. Fisher,

Dear Mr. Fisher:

I have yours of April 26th and note your cents
// on the :Montauk property and am glad to learn that
you are so well pleased with the location, but I am
7 more pleased to learn that you will not attempt to
1 attack this job for at least one more year as this
will give you time to be far advanced with the Beach ;
development that you will not be over-burdened with
\, too many worries at one time - - 12,000 acres will
--,be quite a healthy job.
I have already consulteowitTiiBrown and Ringwood on
affecting the saving on the bulkhead on the mainland
near LaGorce Island. There is practically no fill
to be made back of the bulkhead and it appears very,
practical and will not only effect a saving of apprpximate-
ly $4,000 in the work, but will also speed up Conklin's
work by saving him a great deal of work on sheeting.
It is just such items as this that makes Ringwood very
valuable to us.
As per your instructions will continue to open your
personal mail and forward everything that would likely .
prove of interest to you.
Mr. Theodore Houser of the Florida Bond and Mortgage
Company (which is one of Ed Romfh's numerous interests)
called on me yesterday about the inquiry he had on the
Lincoln Hotel. He states that the parties interested
are the Carl Winter Interests of Milwaukee, who he claims
to be worth 020,000,000.00 to $25,000,000.00.
He said that they became interested through the fact
that there were so many Milwaukee people down here and
also through the fact that they tried several times during
the season to get accommodations in the Lincoln without
success.
