Dear Knight:

I enclose the $100.00 retainer check as per telegram. I'll
risk that much per month till the July sailing of "Victoria" but I don't
think our plan will fall through this time. However, you should know
inside two or three weeks.

(SIGNED) V. Stefansson.

I enclose my lecture schedule in case you want to reach me.
