Toronto, Ontario, 1107 Bank of Hamilton Bldg., September 18, 1923.

V. Stefansson, Esq., New Court, Middle Temple, London, N. C. 4.

Dear Stefansson:-

There is not very much to report since I last wrote, except that I have just returned from New York and had a talk there with LeBourdais and with Pickering of the North American Newspaper Alliance, following which I wired Roy Brown as per copy attached, and he kindly arranged to go down to Seattle as I asked, and yesterday afternoon wired me as follows:

"Crawford left nothing. Knights diary and Adas story being kept intact by Noice who will wire you direct and he is going Toronto in few days."

We have heard nothing yet from Noice. No doubt he will be in Toronto within the next week or ten days and give us a full story.

In the meantime press interest in Wrangel has subsided, and may or may not be revived as a result of the story that Knight's diary and Ada Blackjack may tell.
