Macon Georgia June 30,1887
Mr. D. J. Thaxton

Dear Sir:

In your issie of the 28th of June you state that Dr. J. H. Bryans is ready to 
surrender the lease to Indian Springs, if the state will sell the same to a 
good party requiring him to erect a hotel suited to its demands, and you ask if 
I will consent. I regard the Indian Springs water the best of all waters in the 
South, and with a good hotel would be the Saratoga for the Southern people, I 
know no location where a modern hotel would pay as good interest on the 
investment as there, and most cheerfully surrender my claims on the lease to 
have the property sold fand a good hotel erected.  A good hotel at the Springs 
would be of more solid value to the whole county than any railroad could 
possibly be.

I am satisfied with a large modern hotel, her popularity would soon grow so as 
to eclipse any village on the E.T.V. & Ga. R.R.

Yours truly, J. J. Lamar
