Ifthere is anything bearing on this subject you would like me to hunt up. please let me know. and I will endeavor to obtain it. Time statistics I inclose show at a glance the immense money value of our fisheries and their importance to the country. If it had not been for the fisheries. New England would never have been settled. for on the first landing on those stormy shoresit is likely the emigrants would havebeen forced to go elsewhere but for the quantities of fish. a most fortunate circumstance for the Union. to which New England has added so many true and loyal States. I have the honor to be. very respectfully. your obedient servant. DAVID D.
