Letter from Errol Lorne Knight to Vilhjalmur Stefansson, 12 April 1921

Dear Mr.Stefansson:-

I thought that I had better write and let you know what I had done with Ellison White concerning the pictures and lecture.

For 3 or 4 days after I arrived home I was laid up with the grippe and was unable to go to Portland, but called Paget up. When I did go to see him, I found that he (Paget) had already received your wire and was perfectly willing that the change in plans be made. The advertising has already been distributed but he said they thay could easily be overcome. The only thing that was liable to hold them back was the fact that the pictures were not yet in Portland but he has wired to N.Y. to find out why they have not been sent.

I wrote to Mr. Harkin from Louisville the same day you left

but have received no answer so am going to write again today.

I have your itinerary and note that you will be in Dallas, only 20 miles from here, on July 19 and I am sure the folks will come up and see you. I am listed to appear in Amity, 9 miles from here, on June 6th but some people are due for a dissapointment. Every one here still thinks I am going on to Chautauqua.

Give my best regards to Maurer and believe me

Respectfully Yours Knight
