Letter from Alfred J. T. Taylor to Vilhjalmur Stefansson, 29 May 1922

I duly received your telegram of the 25th, and have withheld my reply waiting for definite word from the East as to some other appointments I have been trying to make. However, as far as I can see this morning, I shall leave Vancouver not later than the night of June 2nd, and my address for the 5th, 6th and 7th of June will be in care of Dr. Edgar Kidwell, Milwaukee Athletic Club, Milwaukee, Wis., with whom I shall be staying until the morning of June 8th, when I shall come through to Chicago and be at the University Club at 10 o'clock, to keep my appointment with you.

I now find that I shall go on to New York from Chicago and am in hopes that your plans will be such that will enable us to travel down there together leaving either on the 8th or later, if it suits you, so long as I will be in New York by the 12th or 13th. About four days will finish my business in New York, and I shall then be free to return home either through Canada, calling at Ottawa or Toronto, if the business on which you and I are interested requires this.

I would like to be in Vancouver by the evening of June 24th, but if there is any way in which I can be useful to you by remaining in the East, I shall be glad to do it.

This letter may be too late to reach you in New York, but I shall wire you on the day I leave here to New York, and am sending a copy of this letter to you at the University of Iowa.

Brown and I were delighted to get the humorous review of the "Friendly Arctic", and Brown is running this poem in the "Province" at the first opportunity,
