Office of the American Geographical Society, Broadway, at 156 Street, New York, Sept. 6, 1923.

Mrs. David Maurer, 209 West High St., New Philadelphia, Pa.

Dear Mrs. Maurer;

During the absence of Mr. Stefansson's secretary I have undertaken to attend to his office in New York. He cables me from London to advise you that he proposes with Harold Noice to publish the diaries or journals of the members of the Wrangel Island Expedition, the proceeds of which will be divided amongst their respective heirs.

I am sure that financial considerations have no place in your mind at this time, but this at least is one way in which Mr. Stefansson can demonstrate his sincere sympathy, of which I am sure you will need no assurance from me, and of which I have no doubt he will inform you personally at the first opportunity.

Yours sincerely,

LeB
