Extract from letter of Mr. John Maurer to Mrs. J. I. Crawford, dated Jan. 29, 1925.

"I was not pleased with the manuscript but Mr. S. is writing the book and I was willing to let him have anything of Fred's that would help him. Since no one connected with the last expedition is satisfied, the best thing for him to do would be to abandon it altogether.....

"I am willing to write Mr. S. requesting that the book be not published if Knights and Galles agree. If you will write to them and get their opinion I believe he can prevent the publishing of the book."
