Mr. V. Stefansson
N. York.

Dear Mr Stefansson

Some weeks ago I received your letter from
Australia for which I thank you. The pictures came and
we appreciate them very much. Oct 18 the manuscripts
were received, have been looking over them. Mr Knight
instructions are to forward to the Galle Family. Kindly
advise me if the manuscript is sent out for purpose
of the families expressing their approval and privilege
of correcting or eliminating parts; The papers are
carrying a story about finding the skeleton of the 4 men
lost in 1914 on Herald Island. It seems to me that the
story of lost men being found would be an interesting addition
to your book. I have been watching papers with interest for any
news from Wells + Party. Hoping they may have found records
which Noice may have over looked. Kindly let me know what
your wishes are in this matter. With very kind wishes for success

I am Sincerely

John Maurer

P.S. You spoke of paying us a visit any time you are near here will be
pleased to see you JM
