Oslo, Friday 3 July 1925.
Herr Kaptein Roald Amundsen,
Horten.
Since I had to travel from Aalesund to undergo an operation here, I allow myself from here in the hospital to convey to you and your comrades my heartiest congratulations for the excellent result that has been achieved.
I hope you have had a pleasant trip south with “Alb. W. Selmer”.
Most respectfully
