	Title:	Letter, March 20, 1902, Henry M. Flagler, Palm Beach, to Ellen Call Long, Tallahassee, 1 p., reporting "that the 'Spanish Stones' arrived safely and have been placed (quite appropriately I think) in one of the walls in the court of my residence here . . . I note also . . . your desire for information regarding my locating in Florida . . . I don't know that I can assign any particular reason for my first investment in this State; it was simply the outcome of a casual visit, and is merely an instance of the luck which has attended me throughout my life. My attention was first attracted to the upper East Coast, and later I realized the wonderful possibilities of this section, both as to the soil and climate, until the development of the present day is reached. What the future will be, no one can foretell, but I have unbounded faith in the resources of the State and its citizens."
