Sunnyside, Aug. 7, 1921.

Dear Knight:

Let me know how much I should pay your father for keeping Galle.

If Galle wants to go North, he will get the same percentage of
furs as Maurer, but no other money.

Write me a letter before going saying how much you owe me on
advances and that I may keep this back from your pay.

Let me know if you would like to be on just the same terms as
Maurer or do you want the first arrangements to stand?

(SIGNED) V. Stefansson.
