of both eyes. I was able to read only 
the headlines of the newspapers, and to 
read the text I was compelled to employ 
a powerful magnifying glass. As I had 
always preferred to do my own office 
work this was a serious handicap. But 
when I was unable to discern the fry 
on their nests, while standing on the 
bank of a pond, I concluded that like 
Othello my occupation was gone. Ac- 
cordingly on March 31, 1917, at the 
age of eighty-one years, I resigned 
from the U. S. Bureau of Fisheries, 
and removed to Cincinnati to spend my 
remaining years among old friends and 
relatives. In this connection I may be 
pardoned for introducing the following 
correspondence: 
“Tupelo (Mississippi) Station, 
“U. S. Bureau of Fisheries. 
“January 30, 1917. 
“Hon. William C. Redfield, Secretary, 
“Department of Commerce, 
“Washington, D. C.: 
“Sir: After twenty years of faithful, 
conscientious and successful service as 
Superintendent in the Bureau of Fish- 
eries, I am compelled to resign my po- 
sition owing to rapidly failing sight, 
the same to become effective on March 
31, 1917, with leave of absence during 
that month. 
“Respectfully submitted, 
“J. A. Henshall. 
“DEPARTMENT OF COMMERCE 
“Office of the Secretary, 
“Washington, D. C. 
“February 1, 1917. 
“My dear Sir: 
“The receipt is acknowledged of your 
letter of January 30, tendering your 
resignation as superintendent in the 
Bureau of Fisheries, to become effect- 
ive at the close of business hours on 
March 31, 1917. In accepting this res- 
ignation I take the opportunity of com- 
mending you on your many years of 
faithful service in that bureau. It is 
deeply regretted that your eyesight has 
become seriously impaired, and it is 
hoped that private life may prove more 
conducive to your health. 
“Very truly yours, 
“William C. Redfield, 
“Secretary.” 
“DEPARTMENT OF COMMERCE, 
“Bureau of Fisheries, 
“Washington, D. C. 
“February 2, 1917. 
“My dear Dr. Henshall: 
“I have just received your resigna- 
tion and wish to express my regret 
that your physical condition has forced 
you to take this step. You have been so 
long and so closely identified with the 
fishery work that it will be difficult to 
realize that you have had to withdraw 
therefrom. My best wishes go out to 
you. There will probably be no diffi- 
culty in arranging for the leave to 
which you are so justly entitled. 
“Sincerely yours, 
“H. M. Smith, 
“Commissioner.”
