If there is anything bearing on this subject you would like iue to hunt up. please let me know. and I will endeavor to obtain it. Tme 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 w~uld never have been settled. for oii the first landing on those stormy shores it is likely the emigrants would have been forced to go elsewhere but for the quantities of fish. a most fortunate circumstance for the Union. to which New Egland has added so many true and loyal States. I have the honor to be. very respectfully. your obedient servant. DAVID 1.
