3. Boot-leather, stout boot-nails, and useful paper are requirements
which I hope you will be able to supply sufficiently for a second season.

4. The only want for the second season which I can foresee is reindeer
pelts for repairing sleeping-bags. I very much fear you will not have
brought any: anything you can provide to make good the want would be
acceptable.

5. If convenient Williams might look at the blubber cooking stove in the
Discovery Hut and provide some sheet metal, etc., to keep it in good
repair.

6. One of the old blubber stoves adapted as in stables and some chimney
pipe should be placed in the Meteorological Hut if it is erected to the
west.

7. To provide for possible difficulty in keeping up supply of blubber for
Discovery Hut stove in March and April it might be useful to have a few
bags of coal there, if you can spare them and land them conveniently.
Last year we managed very well without coal.

8. If when erecting the stables, etc., the carpenter has not time to see
to smaller matters, such as the repairing of the porch entrance, etc.,
will you please leave sufficient wood for the purpose. A drift screen
would be an advantage outside door of porch.

9. If you erect the Meteorological Hut, and can conveniently do so, it
would help for you to leave a few cases of provisions in it. Bowers
leaves a note with Simpson on this point.
