Dear Mr. Stefansson:

Your very welcome letter received the 16th. Also the $100.00.
I am still, of course, in the dark concerning the plans you have for me
up North but you no doubt would have told me about them had you wanted
me to know. I never wanted to do anything in my life as bad as I want
to get away from here, and if your present plans do not fail I will be
greatly pleased. There has been a great deal of speculation at our
house on where I am going but we are still in the dark. Dad is excited
stiff.

Am inclosing a clipping which may interest you a little.

I received a letter a few days ago from Maurer and he stated
that Ellison-White people had decided to use the movies again. Why they
did not do it all the time fools me.

I hope for encouraging news soon and until I do hear, I will be
as patient as possible for it means quite a bit to me. Hope to see you
in Pallas, July 9, if I am still home. Hope I will be going North then.
Thanks for the 100 dollars. I have not forgotten the $250.00 I owe you,
but will repay that from my Northern wages.

Am shingling a large house now, but would rather be building
"ice-houses" (!!!!)

Respectfully yours,
(SIGNED) Knight.

Dear Knight:

My own northern plans are not clear yet so I can not let you
know--but will as soon as I can.

Find out on your own the date of the next sailing from Seattle
of the Victoria or other ship for Nome. I hope you can go then.
