LETTER OF WILLIAM A. KJELL:MAXX AyiTH REGARD TO DELIVERY OF 



DEER TO W. T. LOPP. 



Eaton Station. Alaska, November 2, 1898. 

 Dear Sir: Frederick Larsen and party arrived here yesterday from 

 Cape Prince of Wales, via Golovin Bay and St. Michael. He reports 

 that 159 head of deer were delivered to Mr. Lopp. Fr. Larsen also 

 reports that Mr. Lopp was to send men up to Point Hope to bring 

 down to Cape Prince of Wales the whole of the Point Hope herd, then 

 he (Mr. Lopp) will replace Charley's herd and keep the ])alance, 

 together with the 150 brought by Fr. Larsen, as this 159 are looked 

 upon as only ample compensation for losses, etc. This arrangement 

 was made by Lieutenant Jarvis, I understand. It would be all right if 

 we had not been calculating differently. In the tirst place, we have the 

 four Eskimos whom we sent up to care for the herd; they were to have 

 a herd, or at least what belongs to them out of the Point Hope herd.
