Vilhjalmur Stefansson, Esq., American Geographical Society, Broadway at 156th Street, New York.

Dear Mr. Stefansson:

I knew some time ago that Mr. Crawford had gone North, and I am glad to know that they are likely to have a pleasant and comfortable winter in Wrangel Island. A few weeks ago I had a talk with his father about the young man, and as far as I can judge he expects that his son will return to his university work after his experiences in the North. I agree with you that it would be better for him to finish his course before embarking on what is bound to divert him from his academic training. I hope that the expedition will be successful, and that your own will yield the results for which you are hoping, and with many thanks, I am,

Yours sincerely, ^ Rob A Falconer ^

President.
