2G3 64, Queen Street, London, January 13, 1893. 



Dear Sir: Eeferiing to our interview on tlie lltli instant, I 

 have since endeavoured to obtain information as to tlie quantity of fur- 

 seal skins received by the hite firm of J. M. Oppenheim and Co. from 

 the old Eussian Fur Company between the years 1864 and 1868, when 

 Messrs. Op])enheim's contract expired. 



Without being able to give exact figures, I am inclined to believe that 

 the quantity which I stated in my deposition given to the United States 

 Commissioner as 20,000 skins in 1864, gradually increased annually, 

 reacliing in 1868 as many as 50,000 skins. I should add that these 

 were exclusive of the 10,000 (more or less) dry skins received by 

 Messrs. Oppenheim every year. 



I beg now to inclose herewith corrected and supplemented statement, 

 showing not only the quantities of salted fur- seal skins received by my 

 firm from the Alaska Commercial Company and Korth American Com- 

 mercial Coin])any during the years 1870 to 1892,but also showing when 

 these skins were disposed of by iny firm at public auction. 



I Avas sorry to find that the statement attached to my deposition was 

 not sufficiently clear, as it might lead one to suppose that the quantities 

 uji to the year 1886 referred to the numbers sold, whereas they referred 

 to those received by my firm, but not entirely disposed of in the same 

 year in which they arrived. You will also please notice that the regular 

 catch of 1890 consisted of 20,994 skins, and was disposed of in October, 

 1890. My firm also received in this year 4,158 skins, taken, previous 

 to the expiration of the Alaska Commercial Company's lease, by the 

 natives for food, but shipped by the North American Commercial Com- 

 paiiA", and these were sold in January 1891. The 1891 catch, erroneously 

 given as 4,158 skins, really amounted to 13,494 skins, and was, as you 

 will notice, sold in that year, whereas the -1892 catch, amounting to 

 7,554 skins, had not been taken when my deposition was made. 

 Tours truly, 



(Signed) Emil Teichmann.
