Vilhjalmar Stefanson Esq.,

C/O American Geographical Society,

Broadway, at 156th St.,

New York City.

Dear Sir:

I beg to acknowledge receipt of your letter dated
April 10th, enclosing a carbon copy of a letter addressed by you
to Captain Bernard. I handed the letter over to him,

I amy say that I have rarely, if ever, met a man
so simple, so unassuming, so free from boastfulness, so intellig-
ent in weighing evidence, so careful and guarded in his every
statement as is Captain Bernard.

Believe me.

Very sincerely yours.

Rector.
