In reply thereto would say that I have taken up the matter with the Commissioner of Fisheries, and have requested him to send you blank applications for the fish you de- sire. When you have received the same, if you will fill them out, according to the directions and forward them to me, I will give them my favorable endorsements and will in turn send them on to the Commissioner with an ur- gent request for favorable action thereon. With kind regards, I beg to remain, Yours very sincerely, E.C@whigh Mr. J. T. Hinch, Chairman Fish and Game Committee, Bar Harbor Board of Trade, Bar Harbor, Maine.
