Dear Mr. Knight:-
I received your telegram about the amount of money
necessary to be spent in Seattle, and replied to Crawford,
thinking you might be out of town.
necessary to be spent in Seattle, and replied to Crawford,
thinking you might be out of town.
I am very short of money now, but expect to have
more by the time you reach Nome. I would, therefore, like it
very much if you could keep the entire expenditure in Seattle
preferably down to $2000.00, (Two Thousand Dollars), and at
the most to $2500.00, (Twenty-Five Hundred Dollars), this to
include passage for yourselves to Nome as well as prepayment
of freight, if prepayment is necessary. You can save a little
by paying for the freight on delivery in Nome, as we will have
more money there.

We already have a credit of $1250.00, (Twelve

Miners & Merchants Bank, of Nome. I shall be able to add to
this, if necessary.
