Spawn with the pot at [Tycon?] Island
unless the fish run strongly between
the 23rd & 31st of the month - I do not
think it [adranath?] to ask for a
permit from Ottawa, and I intend
writing [Kennefick?] today to leave
[Tycon?] Island for work at [Martin?]
as suggested in your letter - If
you think it necessary to remain
with your men where you are, and
get them going well and good, and
perhaps it would be best to do so
and then go on to Masters as soon
as you could - If we don’t get spec
trout eggs somewhere, we shall be
in a bad fix. [Kennefick?] should
be able to run the affairs at [Martin?]
for the beginning of the season, as
it is doubtful if much else can be done
there before say 10 Nov; and by that
time you could know definitely about
your spec trout eggs, and then join
Kenninfick. I feel quite sad that
you would work with greater difficulty
in catching trout and getting their Eggs
than you at post[?] around [?] upon [?]
I have been very heartily[?]
