Vilhjalmur Stefansson Esq .. -2

Immediately on my arrival in Toronto I called upon
Mr. and Mrs. Crawford and did what I could to encourage them in
the hope that Allan Crawford might still be alive, and I really
felt this hope until reading in the Star to-day the attached
article by Noice dated September 8th and appearing as having
been sent from Akutan.

Allan’s parents are very much cut up over his re-
ported death, but they have nothing but sympathy for you and
do not in any way share the opinion that has been expressed in
one or two sections of the press that we are to blame for Craw-
ford’s untimely end.

I am leaving for Chicago and will ask you to excuse
me from writing more at this time.

Meanwhile with our very best to you, and hoping to
see you soon on this side, I remain,

Yours sincerely.
