Harold Noice, Esq.,

City Club of New York,

New York, N. Y.

Dear Mr. Noice:-

This will acknowledge with thanks your cheque for $100. to
cover what you think is the cost of telegraphic charger to
Nome and Seattle.

I have just received word this morning from Mr. Stefansson
that he will arrive in New York via the S. S. Leviathan on the
15th. Mr. Griffith Brewer, the gentleman in England who put
up all the money for the relief expedition, is also coming with
him for the purpose of going into the accounts of the expedition.

I also gather from Mr. Stefansson's letter that he fully
expects all the monies realized from the sale of the story to
be credited to the Company. In view of this it is our wish
that you keep whatever monies you received from Mr. Pickering
intact until this matter is definitely settled.

I will endeavor to go into the accounts of the Stefansson
Company and the expedition some time this week and will send you
a copy as promised so that you can go over it in time to be
prepared to go into detail with Mr. Stefansson and Mr. Brewer
the reason for the many expenditures.

With kindest regards,

Yours very truly,

John Anderson

P.S. It is at present the intention of Mr. Taylor and the writer
to come down to New York leaving here Saturday evening arriving
New York Sunday morning, the 14th, so that we will have a day to
go over the accounts and affairs of the last expedition before
meeting Mr. Stefansson and Mr. Brewer who is due to arrive the
morning of the 15th. Please advise by return where it will be
convenient for you to meet us on Sunday.
