Associate Justice,
Gudmundur Grimson,
“Upreme Court,
Bismarck, N.D.
■^^ar Judge Grimson:
I lust received your letter of August 4,
reearding the statue of Leifur Eiriksson,
and hasten to reply that I most definitely
°Ppose the idea that the Sons of Norway
sn°Uld contribute for the removal of the
® atue from Newport News to Washing-
°n. We must not forget that we are
uoncerned with the statue of Leifur
uiksgoH^ son jce]an(j as js stated on
6 statue itself. I am convinced that the
ohi andic people would most definitely
lect to Norwegian interference in this
ttiatter.
is my opinion that the statue is well
^aced where it now stands in Newport
ne'VS’ an<1 ls seen by a great number of
from all over the world visiting
n 6 -Mariners’ Museum every year. I have
gj. n°ubt the time will come when the
th U6 ooul<1 be moved to Washington at
nie fxpense °í the United States Govern-
jje nl’ aud in the meantime, Leifur should
no a lo'ved to remain peacefully where he
v stands. I am even starting to doubt
anvi;bing would be gained by hiding
ln , statue in some park here in Wash-
se °n’ as I feel that its present position
]j0wes a very useful purpose. This matter,
anð ever. we can discuss at a later date
tjj6 ’ as stated, nothing can be lost if
t]-- ®tatue remains where it is for some
llme longer.
tVith kindest personal regards,
Sincerely yours,
Thor Thors, Minlster.
