Dear Bir:- 
We send you enclosed hn this box a specimen of fish which 
drifted up to our shore near our works at Neponset yesterday afternoon 
It was alive and had probably got caught too near the ebb tide, 
It seems to be such a perfect stranger in our waters, no one 
ever having recognized anything like it before, that we felt that 
it might be interesting to know more of its history, and in consulta- 
tion with Mr, John Fotler of the Fish & Game Society, this afternoon 
he advised us to send it to you so that it might be further in- 
spected, We should be pleased to know the result, 
With kind regards, I am, 
Yours truly, 
John Mears, Sec’y,
