Mr. V. Stefansson N. York.

Dear Mr Stefansson

Some weeks ago I received your letter from Australia for which I thank you. The pictures came and we appreciate them very much. Oct 18 the manuscripts were received, have been looking over them. Mr Knight instructions are to forward to the Galle Family. Kindly advise me if the manuscript is sent out for purpose of the families expressing their approval and privilege of correcting or eliminating parts; The papers are carrying a story about finding the skeleton of the 4 men lost in 1914 on Herald Island. It seems to me that the story of lost men being found would be an interesting addition to your book. I have been watching papers with interest for any news from Wells + Party. Hoping they may have found records which Noice may have over looked. Kindly let me know what your wishes are in this matter. With very kind wishes for success

I am Sincerely

John Maurer

P.S. You spoke of paying us a visit any time you are near here will be pleased to see you JM
