My Lord
May it please Your Lordship
Some gentlemen with whom I am connected are about establishing an association for the purpose of developing the Salmon Fisheries in British Columbia, more particularily for the curing, drying and preserving the fish in the Frasier River and its tributaries.
May I be allowed to ask if your Lordship's Department can grant such an association any assistance, or privilege of Fishing in the said waters, and can in any way conduce to the developement of this productive source of Colonial IndustryManuscript image at present entirely neglected.
I have the honor to remain My Lord
