FitzGerald

February 23rd, 1921

Dear Mr. FitzGerald:

I was about to write you a long letter about
the resources, history, political status, etc., of
Wrangel Island, and about the advisability of the
Company establishing a post on that island, when I
learned that you had gone to England. I am, accord-
ingly, placing the matter directly before Mr. Sale.
I hope very much you will discuss it thoroughly before
you come back. Personally, I want to urge in the
strongest way possible that action be taken this summer.
Your doing so will, I believe, add greatly to the advan-
tage of the Company, and I know it will be warmly wel-
comed by the Government at Ottawa.

Mr. Edward FitzGerald,
The Hudson’s Bay Company,
Hudson’s Bay House,
London, E. C. 3.
