Masik and Gumaer apparently showed no appreciation of the favors
that you did for them for they made themselves very unpopular around here
by knocking you and the Expedition in terms very uncomplimentary. Of
course every knock is a boost for you so you should worry. They also
pronounced Stork an D. S. But as I said before they made themselves un-
popular so nothing was gained. Their attitude towards you confirms my
opinion of them. Lindeberg publicly denounced Gumaer as a fakir on the
Victoria when Gumaer (in a skin shirt) was lecturing (?) in the saloon,
which makes us all feel good.

I will write later when I have something of importance to tell
you. Wishing that you was with us, and wishing you all the luck in the
world in England, I am as always

Yours truly,
(SIGNED) Knight.
