Dear Mr. Stefansson:

Your letter of instructions arrived and will do my best to follow
them.

From conversation with Maurer and later on receipt of your letter
I gather that you think I am going to devote my time to mapping etc. when
the others were on the traps. I never meant to give this impression to
you. I have intended to do as much as possible. What I meant to imply
was should any contingency crop up that in the interests of your work would
take me off the line for a couple of days I would not like to get a share
in the other man's fur. Especially now since I am buying shares I will
need what is left to finish up at Varsity.

We are all hoping that the trip to England will be successful we
will do our best.

(SIGNED) A. R. Crawford.
