Dear Maurer:

In the manuscript of the forthcoming book I have the
following sentence about the cat that was with the Wrangel Expedition in
1914. "Maurer took the cat with him to Nome and Victoria and eventually
to his home in Ohio, where at last reports she was still safe and con-
tented although now growing old." Is this correct?

I should also be grateful for any further information
about the cat. If she is still living I would like very much to get a
photograph of her. If she is at your home, would it be possible to get a
picture of your mother with the cat in her lap, or some other member of
the family and the cat?
