I'm not a subscriber and I'm only seeing part of the story. What does the other note say?

Messages in a bottle have a long history. The first recorded messages in bottles were released around 310 BC. In the 16th century, the English navy, among others, used bottle messages to send ashore information about enemy positions. In 1784 Chunosuke Matsuyama sent a message detailing his and 43 shipmates shipwrecking in a bottle that washed ashore and was found by a Japanese seaweed collector in 1935. In February 1916 the doomed crew of Zeppelin L 19 dropped their last messages to their superiors and loved ones into the North Sea. A bottle was recovered in 2012, and was confirmed by Guinness World Records to be the oldest message in a bottle ever found--98 years. Perhaps this woman Jess Kosic had a relationship with the lake we will never know about, and maybe it was a way to be remembered and her friend to spread the word about Leukemia & Lymphoma. Do your research before you call it littering. Or....maybe... send a littering ticket to the sender Rick Hecker.
