Bank of Hamilton Building,

February 20, 1923.

O.S. Finnie,Esq., Director, Department of the Interior, Ottawa, Ontario.

Dear Sir;-

Yours of February 5th addressed to Mr. Stefansson has travelled over a large part of the United States and has reached me to-day just as I am leaving for Quebec to be absent until the end of the week.

Mr. Stefansson forwarded to Mr. Anderson your letter of December 19th last, but since that time both Mr.Anderson and I have been travelling almost continuously due to the fact that we have moved our offices from Vancouver to the present address and all our files have been packed up, and are only just not accessible.

You may depend, however, upon receiving from Mr. Anderson within the course of the next ten days a report which you desire in regard to the relief expedition sent during August and September of last year to Wrangel Island, and I hope that this continued delay will in nowise inconvenience you.

Yours faithfully,

CC- Mr. Stefannson
