Dear Sir,

We notice from recent press reports you have landed
an expedition on Wrangel Island and are figuring on starting
a new expedition in the coming Spring.

We own and operate the power schooner "Ruby" which
vessel is specially adapted for this business,having operated
to Banks Land and Herschell Island and other Arctic points.

She is a very staunch vessel of 500 tons d.w. and
draws 11'6" and is well equipped for the ice.

If you are figuring on buying or chartering a vessel
we shall be glad to hear from you when we think we can interest
you in the "Ruby".

Awaiting your advices with interest.

Yours very truly,

Kuskokwim Fishing & Transportation Co.
Louis Knaflich Pres.
