Dear Mr. Stefansson: -
Just another short letter. It is rather a happy letter as the inclosed clipping will show, for the plans have evidently come to a head, or else this is some more newspaper bunk.
I wrote to the Alaska Steamship Co. out of curiosity, and they replied that the Victoria sails from Seattle on the morning of July 7. Not a great deal of time between now and then.
Miss Jones whom you will remember, is very anxious to go with me. I also would like to have her with me but do not know * where I am going or the nature of the work and I am leaving it all to you^ whether she shall go or not. If it is a case of choosing between her and the north, the north wins, but if there is to be a permanent camp where she could stay, I am sure she can take care
of herself. Hoping to hear from you soon I am as always
Respectfully Yours,
Knight
People are bombarding me with questions asking me when I am going. They say the article in the paper this morning.
