A letter from J.E Welles to Ben Spurling. This letter is regarding the fishing industry. Welles mentions how it is hard to find fisherman to work out in Athens (Georgia). He then talks about deciding to not make his boat a power boat, but keep it how it is because it is greatly equipped for business. Lastly, he mentions about how if Ben wanted to come join him in the Gulf, he would figure something out, due to the lack of fisherman willing to work.
