To T. H. B., ESQ. 



ESTEEMED FRIEND, 



IN compliance with your desire, and at the solicitation 

 of several kind friends, I am induced to attempt laying down a few 

 observations, the result of long experience in Fly-Fishing ; more espe- 

 cially in that department of the " gentle art" which relates to Grayling 

 or Umber. 



Should any information I may be able to give, add to your 

 previous knowledge, or contribute to your future pleasure, I shall be 

 highly gratified. 



Yours truly, 



J. JACKSON.

 MAY, 1853.
