John Tilton Esq
Deputy Minister of Fisheries
Ottawa

Sir,

Regarding the within letter
from Mr Moore of Magog transferred
to me from your Dept. I beg to state
that a letter of like contents was
received by me from Mr. Moore on
the 10th inst. which I had supposed
was forwarded to your Dept. in a
letter to you of 11th inst. It appears
however that this letter of 11th inst.
was mislaid on my desk. I now
send it, as it will contain my views
relative to the enquiries made by
Mr Moore for stocking his hatchery
with eggs.

I am of opinion that
some improvements are necessary at
the Magog Hatchery by which a
larger and more certain supply of
water would be obtained for feeding
the breeding troughs for salmon trout
and the automatic breeding jars for
white-fish.

I am Sir your Obedly
Samuel Wilmot
Supt
