said.

I asked about snow on Wrangel - 'not much for
the wind blows it away - in the ravines it might be
deep - it packs hard, - snowed heavily in
August the first summer, but that was a cold year"
- Grass about three inches high - and some flowers.
- She fished all day hoping to get tom cod like the
fish in Alaska but f had no luck - I asked if
their were fish in the streams she said they found
none but there might have been some in the wide streams
Knight had found a stream so wide he had to swim
across, but that was a long way off she had not
seen it.

Crawford "makes the maps" Once he was away
a week - and said he climbed a high mountain.
The island he thought in a straight line would be 100
miles long and thirty miles wide - "They all seem to
like it on Wrangel." Four flour sacks of skins (fox)
Noice took them - she didnt know what he did with
them - she thought a good many were Galle's - (she did
not seem positive of this ) She would like to stop at Mc
Minnville
when she comes north again. She seems to like the
Knights. I think this is about all of this evenings talk - I
am writing it when it is fresh in my mind - I'm sorry
I am not a stenogropher - but I suppose she would shy away
from any effort to take things down and stop talking
