The waters in and around Rockport are literally alive with fish, from the silvery tarpon and June fish to sea trout and all the smaller members of the finny tribe. Every year until the 1919 storm wiped out the hotels and club nouses, hundreds of sportsmen from all sections of the United States came to enjoy the sport. As a hunting ground for geese and ducks this is considered a fine place.

We are very much interested in the oil well near Burlingame and hope you may not be disappointed. know what it means to have an oil well put down. They have been drilling near Rockport for months, and they have such a wonderful way in which to make us feel that we will certainly have oil.

Our very best regards to our Burlingame friends and we wish to assure you that at any time you are near here we would be pleased to have you make us a visit. Sincerely your friend, Ben Rozell.
