This is Jackie describing Harry Darlington’s mother: She was trying to convey something to us and we just didn’t realize it at the time [that she disapproved of Harry and Jennie going to Antarctica]. She later sent money. I think she sent $250 worth of books for our library on the trip and asked us not to mention it to Harry. Harry was estranged from his mother at the time, which we did not know.
