Photography Enlarged three times of the a page of Galle's notes on which he based the typed diary which he mentions and which Ada Blackjack has described. The last lines show how the news of the proposed trip to Nome first came to Galle. Transcribed, the lines are: "On way back K(night) tells me that they [K(night) and C(rawford)] were probably going to Nome next spring. Does not say why. Tells me will need lots money. Asks if I have any. Will loan all [I have]." This entry was made under date of September 28, 1922
