Mrs. O. R. Wilcox,
Secretary to V. Stefansson,
c/o The American Geographical Society,
Broadway at 156th St.,
New York, N.Y.

Dear Mrs. Wilcox: -

I was glad to get your letter of the 21st
this morning, and you will have by this time received a
very badly typed note which I sent you last Saturday even-
ing re-laying the telegram I had received that day from Mr.
Noice.

This last telegram has relieved my anxiety
to some extent, as it seems to reassure us on the point of
at least having a suitable vessel for the expedition, but
it doesn't make the necessity for immediate funds any less
acute, and I wish it were possible for me to advance the
money without troubling Mr. Stefansson at this time, but,
unfortunately, this is quite out of the question, as I have
seldom been as hard up as I am at present.

Mr. Noice speaks in his telegram of a credit
of $10,000. I think that if we establish a credit of $7,000
it will probably be sufficient, and I do hope in the next day
or two we may receive this money from England.

I am particularly obliged to you for the
very capable way in which you are attending to all these
important matters.

Yours sincerely,
AJT Taylor
