Dear Rogers 
Here is a letter in which you will be interested, if only 
for the information regarding the places and number of crabs captured 
in the Petersburg area. 1 have asked Bari Ohraer to keep on making 
these notes until the first of July at least, and told him if wo 
wished them continued beyond that time we would write him again.

he next vessel that happens to get in to Thomas Pay and 
work around in the inside passage might try a few tangle nets es 
veil as crab pots. There is one thing about tangle- nets— they should 
be tried both at right angle 3 to the beach and parallel to the beach. 
».© have made a copy of 0 liner’s letter, so you may have the 
original for your file®. 
1 am holding a good thought over this year's trip. I wish 
ght have been with it. 
Regards to all of you. 
Sincerely, 
Waldo L, Schmitt, Curator,
