Dear Mr. Lindeberg

Let me first express my thanks and apprecia-
tion for the hospitality extended me by Mrs. Lindeberg
and yourself last Thursday evening in San Francisco.
It was a special pleasure to me to have an opportunity
of meeting you under such pleasant circumstances, and
I hope that the future will bring us together often.

I have just wired Mr. Stefansson and written
to him, as per copies attached and I think my letter
and telegram give all the information I have at present
in regard to the new company, but I hope to be able to
report fully in the course of the next day or so in
the matter of the best thing to be done in regard to the
schooner "ORIAN".

I was agreeably surprised to find that the
extra cost of incorporation for a company of $100,000.
over that of $20,000. was such a small amount, for I
had in mind, when talking with Mr. Stefansson, that it
would run into several hundreds of dollars. Seeing
that the difference between the two amounts was imma-
terial, I am drawing papers of incorporation on the
basis of $100,000. without further discussion either
with you or Mr. Stefansson.

I was especially interested in what you told
me in regard to the progress you are making with the
marine Diesel engines, and I intend following your ef-
forst in this direction very closely. I find, however,
on my return to Vancouver that my brother, E. G. Taylor,
has already left on some business in the Lillooet dis-
trict of British Columbia, that may possibly occupy him
