Dear Dr. Schmitt: 
Pardon my long delay in thanking you for your kind and 
instructive letter. I have been out of the city a great deal since be- 
fore the hollidays and have had very little time to check on the matter 
under discussion. 
■ 
Have not received the report from the Pish and Wildlife 
Service. Should I address tham at Washington D.C? Would certainly like 
to have this report. In discussing this matter with a friend of mine 
here, he said he thought the report of your expidition was in the Public 
Library. Do you know if this is so or was there another report. 
* Wesley said there was quite a variety of sea food brought 
up from the bottom including a great number of shrimps. We are going to 
be interested in a great many of the bottom fish as no doubt the public 
would be once they were introduced. Am very interested in the size and 
flavor of our northern shrimp as compared with those in our southern 
waters. Scallops are another item of importance and I understand those 
taken from our northern waters are very fine. 
It is my plan to contact Dr. McMillan and Marvin Wallace 
very shortly and I want to thank you for giving me their names. That must 
have been a very interesting trip. Being a fisherman at heart, would 
certainly like to have been along. 
Again thanking you for' your information and any additional 
that you might think of, I am, 
4418- 28th., Place West, 
Seattle, Washington. (99) 
Very truly
