Maurer

February 8, 1924.

Dear Mr. Maurer :

At Mr. Stefansson’s request and with Mr. J. I. Knight’s permission, I am enclosing a typewritten copy of Lorne Knight's diary. I believe Mr. Knight wrote you about it some time ago. I am sorry that I could not get the diary to you sooner but, as you see, it is quite long, and it has taken some time to copy it.

This is a full copy of the diary as it was received by Mr. Stefansson. You will notice that there are various omissions and erasures; these were made by Mr. Noice before he turned the diary over to Mr. Stefansson.

I am sending one copy of the diary to each of the families concerned, so it will not be necessary to return this.

Very truly yours,

Secretary to Mr. Stefansson.

Mr. John Maurer, New Philadelphia, Ohio.
