Dear Mr. Stefansson,
Doubtless you have received my wire of even date advising you that the entire expedition has been abandoned.
I may say that for some time there had been a great deal of uncertainty. Things were in such condition that it was quite impossible for me to send any satisfactory reply to your several previous messages. Through all the period of uncertainty I personally thought that in the end the decision would be favourable. However as already advised such is not the case.
Yours faithfully.
J.B.Harkin
