Mr.V.Stefansson New York City, N.Y.
Dear Mr.Stefansson;
I presume you will say to yourself ,"Well, if I had anything to say to you, I would say it " and, rightly too for you have a faculty of doing this BUT I am getting a bit anxious and hope you will not deem me presumptous or a nuisance in writing you to ask what is doing. ?
By this, permit me to say that,Joseph is about the most anxious young man you could find anywhere because ,he has given it out that he was "going north" and he has made his plans in that direction and he is anxious to know what your plans are for him.
We, of course, are very anxious now, as the summer matures, for word from the boys and we feel sure we will have some news of them by the first of Sept..
I had a brief letter from Harold Noice the other day written on the Fourth of July at Seattle and he told me that he was going to join the boys and of his plans to reach the Island but ,he did not tell any of the plans beyond that as to whether or not it was the intention to bring them home this fall or to continue the project from there.
Presume my letter written to you May 10, just before you were leaving for London,reached you and it told you what Joseph's plans were and he is anxious to carry them out along the lines therein expressed.
If you have any news for us, we will welcome them cheerfully and we are hoping that all is well with the boys as well as with yourself. Hope you got what you went to London for.
Yours very truly;
