Dear Doc, 
Thanks very much for your letter of May 27th enclosing two 
copies of your investigation last year of the Alaska King Crab and I have 
given ‘one copy of same to Fred Porter, whose picture along with my own 
sure does smear up the first page in your pamphlet. 
The information contained in tha.t pamphlet is very interesting 
and I would be pleased to have a copy of any further findings along that 
line. Also, ^ am writing the Smithsonian requesting, if possible, that they 
send me a copy of their Exploration pamphlet, as you suggested. 
As you 8.1 so requested, I am keeping an account of the few king 
crabs we are catching here and will do so over a period of one year from 
time I send you last report. 
iha sorry we did not see you in Alaska this year but hope some- 
time later you will again visit us. 
Had a letter sometime ago from Mrs. Hancock and they apparently 
are all well. 
Very best of wishes. Doctor; come see us again sometime and, 
v^hen possible, kindly send me any publications concerning our Alaskan fisheries. 
S incerely yours
