Dear Bruce:

Further reference is made to our telephone conversa-
tion of today concerning plans for a visit by Farris

to Duval County within the relatively near future.

In discussing this matter with Pleas Gay at Jackson-
ville Beach, I find that he had had some informal
discussion with Farris concerning a visit to Jackson-
ville Beach on August 6th with the possibility of
Farris spending the morning of the 6th on a carrier
at layport, thereafter followed by a banquet in the
evening. However, Pleas advises that Farris' secre-
tary yesterday requested that Farris' visit to Jack-
sonville Beach be limited to the banquet only. In
view of this, Pleas indicates that he thinks it well
that the Jacksonville Beach plans be coordinated with

any plans that might be made for Farris visiting Jack-
sonville.

As you know, we would like to coordinate Parris' visit
so that he would also reach those in Jacksonville who
should receive his thanks. However, it occurs to me
that such a visit should be on a week day in order to
achieve a second purpose in any visit, and that is to
discuss local problems with local officials.

As Farris already knows, Ray Richardson would like for
Farris and Julia and Julie to spend the weekend with
him and his wife at the Yerkes bone at Ponte Vedra
Beach. Bay suggests that possibly Farris' visit to
this area could be on a Friday so that such a week and
visit with Ray and his family might be possible. Also
in this connection. "Tubby" Courson has likewise issued
an invitation for Farris and his family at any time to

Ir. Bruce Garwood -2- June 29, 1960

visit the Ponte Vedra Inn as guests of The Inn.

In addition some of the civic luncheon clubs have indi-
cated that they would like very much to have Farris
speak at a Joint luncheon appearance. Undoubtedly this
could be arranged should Farris desire to take advantage
of such a suggestion.

In view of all of the above and should Parris' schedule
permit, perhaps he could visit the Duval County area on
Friday, August 5th, for the purpose of nesting with the
city and county officials at a luncheon or otherwise
and later seating with those who worked for his at a
supper meeting or otherwise. Should he wish to take
advantage of the speaking engagement, this could also
be arranged. He could then spend the week end at

Ponte Vedra and even take a short cruise upon a carrier,
should he desire, on Saturday morning.

I will be nest happy to work out any arrangement which
Farris might wish in order to accomplish his objective
in making an announced visit to this area.

with very kindest regards and best wishes to all of
you there, I remain,

Cordi y yours,
