Bank of Hamilton Bldg., July 24th, 1923.

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: -

This is Tuesday, the 24th, and I have not received any word or any money from Mr. Stefansson. There only remains six days to the 1st of August when the expedition must start from Nome, and the money must be deposited at Nome before the boat will be allowed to leave.

Can you do something to hurry action on Mr. Stefansson's part, or at least have him send us word as to when we may expect the money? Our anxiety on this point increases from day to day, and the time in which to do anything is fast slipping away.

Yours sincerely, AJT Taylor
