註釋

The collection consists of handwritten and typewritten letters (some carbon copies). In some letters to his father, Borup describes his experiences on the North Polar expedition. One letter from Edmund Otis Hovey mentions the name "Jesup Land" for Axel Heiberg [Is]land and says there is no authority for using it. Two letters from Hugh J. Lee, who accompanied Peary on his expeditions to Greenland between 1893 and 1895, discuss the conflicting demands of exploration and family. Included are one short handwritten, signed letter from Robert Falcon Scott and one from Lincoln Ellsworth.
