F. C. Walcott, Esq., 



President State Board of Fisheries and Game 



Hartford, Conn. 



My dear Mr. Walcott : — 



I wish to thank you sincerely for the report on the fish 

 and game situation in Connecticut which you have pre- 

 pared for me. 



I wish that your Commission would have the document 

 printed and distributed very widely throughout the state. 



It contains much that is not only interesting but in- 

 structive, and I am sure will inspire the people of our 

 State to help in the upbuilding of our fish and game pos- 

 sibilities. 



With the intelligent aid of the people of the State, I am 

 sure we can have in Connecticut not only a source of 

 much real pleasure, but a very large opportunity to ob- 

 tain an increased value of food product from this source. 



I am sure the people of Connecticut will loyally sup- 

 port your Commission in its energies. 



Very sincerely yours, ; 



(Signed) EVERETT J, LAKE, 



Governor.
