October 25, 19~.
Act!ng upon advice from you, we, the Fellowship Founder!on, Inc., submit the follow!ng proposal
for your cons!darer!on and dec!sion:
Inasmuch as our Corporat!on ks chartered to operate a B~blical College, a Homotel and other non-
profit, educational and rel!g!ous Inet!tut!cna, we desAre to prosent to the commun!ty a perma-
nent, practical and substantial project wh!ch w!ll be of mutual benefAt and concern to all.
To accompl!sh th!s, we cons!der !t of v!tal !mportance to the C!ty of Sanford as well as to the
thousands of persons !n the North that we shall !nterest !n the development of a Chr~st!an
Colony, that we pay the full amount wh!ch we are to be cha~ged for the 99 year lease for the
port~on of the Naval A!r Base already described !n wr!t!ng plus some lands and bu!ld!ngs now
under adv!sment.

ulated amount to be pa!d An part!al payments over a per!od of years which shall have more than
one !ney!table ct!sAs. Before th!s depression engulfs our present economy, we propose to
raise this amount so that our !mprovements and extens!ons can count as assets acceptable to the
8outhern Colleges and other educat!onal agenc!es as endowments wh!ch w~ll enable our Academy,
College and 8em!nary to be scored!ted at once.
