The Innes Letter #3

The Museum of Aquarium and Pet History has a collection of original letters from William T. Innes dating back to 1914. By reproducing one Innes letter per month, we hope we can give our patrons a personal glimpse of Innes the aquarist, publisher, friend, father, and American icon to the aquarium field.

If any of the old timers out there have any personal stories or recollections of Innes we would love to hear from you. Happy reading from MOAPH.

The following Innes letter from 1933. Innes responding to Auggie Roth, publisher of Aquatic Life Magazine, in reply to having lunch with him to discuss items of mutual benefit. (I would love to have been a fly on the wall in this meeting!)
