January 21, 1919. 
Mr. Alex, Wetmore, 
Assistant Biologist, 
Bradentown , Florida. 
Dear Mr. Wetmore: 
It gives me great pleasure tc send you herewith a notice 
of a promotion increasing your salary to $2,100 per annum, effective 
January 1. This is a well merited promotion based on the effi- 
cient v/ork you have been rendering the Bureau during the lest few 
years. 
It will interest you to know that there is now a bill before 
Congress increasing by $240 a year the salaries of all Government 
employees receiving less than $2,750 per annum. The bill appeurs 
tc have u good chance of passing, and if it does will probably be- 
come effective July 1. 
Sincerely yours, 
(Enclosure 7655)
