Dear Mr. Stefansson; Your letter of instructions arrived and will do my best to follow them.
From conversation with
Maurer & later on receipt of your letter I gather that you think I
was not
am going to devote my time to mapping etc when the others were on the traps. I never meant to give this impression to you. I have intended to do as much as possible. What I meant to imply was should any contingency arise crop up that in the interests of your work would take me or the line for a couple of days I would not it like to get a share in the other man's fur.
Especially now since I am buying shares I will need the res what is left to finish up at Varsity.
We are all hoping that the trip to England will be successful we will do our best.
A R Crawford.
