New York, U.S.A.
Dear Mr. Stefansson,
I enclose a copy of confirmation of telegram sent to Mr. Taylor this morning, and at his request I am sending you herewith draft for $1,000. This leaves a balance of approximately
$1,000. in the account, but we owe wages at the end of October as follows:-
A. R. Crawford ... $ 850.00
Ada Blackjack ... 100.00
You will notice I have not paid Crawford's
wages for some time. This is due to the fact that I was afraid to spend the
money which we received from the Dominion Government for other than
what it was intended, as I understand the money was advanced for the purpose of
chartering the "Teddy Bear", and for the relief of the men on the Island.
It will be necessary to arrange for additional funds later, as in a letter
received from you this week you suggested paying Sir Edmund Walker's note, which amounts to $500. plus interest, and
also the interest on Dr. Jenning's
advance. You will therefore see that it would require more funds than we
have at present, to pay off these liabilities.
Yours truly,
^
John Anderson
