I am so glad you enjoyed “Vikings of the Ice’? and shall be more than happy to auto- graph your copy, if you will send it along. It was written as a re- sult of much suffering; you prob- ably can appreciate how much. I am only hoping it really does give: a truthful picture of life among the sealers. It seems to me I have known you, in a way, for a very. long time.

My dear Mr. England: I have just added your book “Vikings of the Ice” to my Arctic library and I can’t begin to tell you with what joy, what chortles and whoops of joy. I read it! Last summer, I went to Green- land on Captain Bob Bartletts’ schooner “Morrissey,” the only woman with twenty-seven men. My two boys; 12 and 14, were along so I wasn’t lonely, but still I was the only. woman. I thought I had never in my life. seen:sueh a hap- hazard crowd a& the;entire New- foundland .personnel. of the ship. You have certainly hit them off to the life!’ I wish I had your sense of humor, perhaps I wouldn’t have been so constantly annoyed by dured all you did there. Bob Bart- lett is of course an old friend of mine—a splendid fellow, and every inch a real man. He may have told you we had met. Our summer home is in Brad- ford, New Hampshire, not too far from Cambridge. Who knows but sometime you may come to see Mrs, England and me, and look over my sealing-pictures and rel- ics? That would indeed be some- thing for my wife and me to an- ticipate! With cordial best wishes, and again the assurance that it will be a pleasure to autograph the book, Iam, Very sincerely yours, GEORGE ALLAN ENGLAND. Key West is one of Dad’s old} jhaunts.
