154 REPORT ON THE INTRODUCTION OF 



to take a position in the business. I declined to come just now, but perhaps I shall 

 go to the State of Washington next fall, if I do not make arrangements for residing 

 here as agent for the Eastern States. What do you think of an essay to recommeud 

 Alaska for Scandinavian emigrants, and would you kindly give me some points 

 about this matter? Perhaps I could use them for my friend, if not for myself. If 

 the fishing trade could be in the future conducted on an exclusive scale there, 

 Alaska might be a favorable plan for my countrymen of the fishing trade. 

 Kindly return inclosed letter. 



Respectfully, yours, 



N. Width. 

 Rev. Sheldon Jackson, 



Washington.
