         <div>
            <p>Would you be so kind as to advise me regarding the following particulars… I understand Jap boats can be rented,  If so, what is the rental charge? What is the cost of fishing license? The average price for fish? The last months for fishing?</p>
            
            <p>Roughly speaking how far from Vancouver is fishing done? Is gasoline available for boats?</p>
            
            <p>I would be glad of any information that you can give me as my partner &amp; myself will be coming to Vancouver, If <gap reason="illegible"/> we figure the fishing there is profitable.  Hoping to hear from you, at your earliest convenience.</p>
