Prof. S.F. Baird   
U.S. Commissioner on Fisheries

Dear Sir.
Can you loan us six of your transportation cans in which to carry fishes for our aquaria?

The large can built for hatching shad eggs on R.R. cars which you took to Woods Hole last summer would be desirable for larger fish, if so please ship by express.

Very truly Yours
Burnet Landreth
Chief of Bureau of Agriculture
Fred Mather
Supt of Aquaria
