price at Temso. The perm lime cost us 5 francs per
kilo, & I do not wish to sell it, but to store it at
Auguards. It is possible I hall have to come here
again & in that case would want it. If not, it can
be sold a year from now as well as now.

Bear in mind that it is possible we may
get back here after you have gone, and have to 
winter. For this reason, have plenty of food for
our 4 men besides enough for the men who are
to winter here. I don't care if you leave 
all the food. Leave whatever wine, ect.. there is,
with orders to the men left her to hold for 
me. Leave all printed books, magazines, newspapers, etc.

Instead the men who stay here to watch the
stay-lines of the hangar night & day, see that
all are taut, & that the frame does not blow
down.

The workmen are to be paid a bonus of 500 Kr.
in cash & 500 in meals, etc. at American
prices, for finishing the hanger ahead of time, &
Terren and Alfred Hansen each 50 Kr extra.

All of my private papers, records, letter, books,
clothing, etc., are to be put in my two trunks,
and there trunks to be stored at Auguard's
till my return. If I do not get back this fall,
they can be sent to my wife in Nov. or
December. For the present I prefer to have
them in Europe,- because if we get back this
fall it is more likely to be on this
[[?]] the American side.

As to all accounts & many matters, besides
those I am giving in your charge. I am writing
to Counsel Auguard.
