Mr. H. Galle

Newbraunfels, Texas.;

Dear Sir;

You will note that the boys are supposed to be alive and I feel that this is an accepted fact although I am, of necessity, prepared to receive almost any kind of news when we do hear from them for they have been in a very inhuman situation for two long years and that is a long time for men to hold themselves in solitude and be normal.

Of course, all we have to worry about is that some of the boys may have developed sickness of some sort. This, however, does not impress me as cause for worry because they were all young and healthy and should have no difficulty in keeping themselves well.

Lorne made a statement to Life Insurance Companies before leaving on this trip to the effect that, he did not consider the hazard of life as great in the Arctic by 40 per cent as here in the modern city with all the swift moving vehicles.

As to the Soviet interference, I do not believe there is any danger because of the inaccessibility of the island.

We shall see and in the meantime, all we can do is to hope and sit tight. It will be a happy bit of news when we do see news of the expedition in the morning paper or when the telegraph messenger knocks at the door and delivers the first message from them.

Yours very respectfully;

J. I. Knight
