V. Stefansson, Esq. -2- Sept.6/21.

although I am quite in the dark as to what he has to pay
for this boat. I know he has tried to tell us in his
wire, but it is not very plain to me, and I hope his com-
munications to you have made the position more understand-
able.

I am attaching now copies of all the wires that
have passed between Crawford and me during the last ten
days, as well as copies of wires I have sent to you. This
should make your file complete.

I am so sorry that I am not able to take the
whole burden of these arrangements off your hands, but in-
asmuch as you are the only one among us with experience and
are most vitally interested, I have considered it best to
get your advice prior to committing the Company here to any
course of action that your experience would not sanction.

I see from your wire this morning that you speak
of commencing a lecture tour on October 25th. Does this
mean that you are going to make your trip to England in the
interval, or that you are postponing the trip until later
in the year? I have no doubt that your next letters will
tell me something more definite about your plans.

Yours sincerely,

A. J. Taylor
