My Dear [?]

I am wanting
say 100,000 more or less
Spec Trout Eggs, can you
supply us [?] me
[?] as
quickly as possible as
time is now short for
Shipment – I see you
are still going ahead
Fish breeder – [Edeton?]
[McCleonaine?] [?]

Better luck on
your side of the water
than with me here
I [?] am doing a big
business with little
for it (personally) –
What do you think of
the Pacific Trout for
our now [forelty?] warm
streams – Will they stand
the temperature of our
Mill ponds better than
our own trout –

Best regards
yours truly,
Sam Wilmot
