Very sincerely, BENJAMIN W. HEATH. Mr. Curdy’s Letten ‘Dear Mr. Heath: ”I am so very gisd to hear from yon and to bring back thoughts of those very wonderful days in Camden—all too brief ones at that "Tmly, but for chance, my win ter home might well be in (^mden for when I came south I planned to find a place either In the Plne- hurst-Southern Pines area, or around Camden. In all likelihood it was the superior hotel acscom- modatlon of the former area which rather fixed my activities, and (Mosed me > to look around for a home In that area. When it works out so with myself, you may he sure that I recognise the old adage that ’A’ commuhlty Is known by its good hotels.’ "It is most unfortunate that Cam den does not possess a^substantial, good, modern hotel. I feel sure djat It would render the community a very great service. A location for a hotel near Springdale would be excellent, Tor U would be a golfing and riding rendezvous for all of America In the spring. Such oc- commodations would bring a mod est annual fortune to the com munity each year. However, for a Canadian to consider any such In vestment Is quite outside of the regulations of the foreign exchange control board. No such Investments are possible at this time. ‘it must be remembered that It Is not the original Investment in a resort hotel, bu| the continued steady operation (with possibility of loss) which must be considered. If there was a property In the. area requiring expert promotion and di rectional activity, our organ*xat1on would be interested, and very com petent to operate It to the i«itls- faction of all. However, any other project Is not posible at this time. “I do hope that during the com ing season I shall have the pleas ure of sdeing you. and failing that ! hope we will meet once again at the home of that great American Sportsman, the man with the red tie, the incomparable ‘Mr. Camden’ himself—our good mutual friend Mr. Harry D. Klrkover. “Until we meet at Springdale, my best wishes and thank you for your kind Interest and suggestion regarding the establishment ol a hotel at C^amden. Very cordially yours, VERNON Q.
