Dear Fred

Yours of Aug 29th to hand and contents noted. Re Sealskins and my answer is to accept 18.00 per with as good grace as possible, and Ill be quite content, and try to do better next time.  I note what you say about Behring Sea Catch, and no doubt will tend to improve prices.  Capt Johnston is known as “Jacob” so you can inform the department of this fact, expect to use these licenses next week, and sure will remember to send for yours if necessary.

You’ll kindly have cheque for skin drawn in your favor and deduct charges also 1.15 1.25 owing to yourself and pay in the balance to Bank of Montreal Vancouver.

Im sorry that I did not see you a few days ago, but time was so limited.  Mr Lerser got about ¾ of am down, also an order about $550.00 which no doubt pleased him, when Freddie phoned you I was due at the Olster Wharf to meet Capt Park, and intended getting in touch with you later on, but my wishes did not mature.

[2]

You’ll notice in using a straight few, so excuse any miss q’s.

Business Im glad to say is improving very much, and I look forward to a good fall + winter, the Indians are getting more than usually energetic, owing to a bad fishing season; they appear very eager to commence halibut fishing also Beaver + Martin trapping, and some hand-logging.  Im glad to say that some of the BB Indians fished at Smiths Inlet this year, and the cannery put up a record pack, the high gill net boat had 4300 at 12 ½ cents each

My trip to Vancouver was made for the purpose of bringing up a new 50 ft launch which Mr Robson late of S/S Venture and myself bought in July last, and it was to be ready to be taken over by us on Aug 15th but the party we bought off skinned out and had done nothing to the boat. On my arrival in Vancouver last week, I then placed her in the hands of Chappel Bros Coal Harbour, who promised to have her ready to sail to day the 9th and Mr Robson who is there will bring

[3]

Her up with the assistance of a 35 HP Hercules Engine, also two men.  I trust all will be well, but bad weather is setting in quite early this year, price of fresh halibut should be good next month, and I sincerely hope it will, as unless it is so, its hard to keep the men fishing in bad weather.

The old folks at home will no doubt tell you that I got out that far, and found them ready to move, did not get a chance for a private talk as we were quite a party as usual.

By the way I left a cheque with Charlie Gardiner to be used partly in paying auto hire out of Freddie’s garage.  I hope this was attended to, you might find out please will you?

Well Fred, I’ve had a busy day in the store, also in my official capacity of registrar I married Miss Rosie Stewart to Harry Dumchit Jr who are now man + wife, ah, ah, what next.  Best wishes to all

Yours faithfully Jno
