My dear Sir,

Many thanks for your prompt reply to my telegram. I am not well enough to go on the dredging excursion myself but have given (with Mr Blatchford's aid) a full outfit to Messrs [Niluer?] & Bannister who will be in Milwaukee on Monday morning. I trust you will be able to ac

company them, as I think you will be interested in the work. They will take with them Mr Blatchford's trawl net (30 feet long), for operating on sandy bottoms, and will doubtless find fish which are not to be got by any other means.

Very Sincerely Your's Wm. Stimpson

Dr Lapham.
