had to be cleaned and the glasses polished but any amount of work would have been a mere bagatelle in view of the results that were to be obtained. While I was working on this material Mrs. Pepper was typewriting. She has written sixty three pages amounting to about fifteen thousand words and [[strikethrough]] the [[/strikethrough]]there are fifty pages of notes that are still unwritten. In speaking of the typewritten notes and those still to be done I refer to the ones that Morgan helped me to get. there are many others that have been gathered from Mr. Hubbell and the Indians themselves. 

In typewriting the notes we mike a manifold lopy of each. Thus we have two records which are kept in different places so that, should one be lost the other would remain. This little typewriter is the best thing that has been invented for field work, it is next to a good wife as a companion and helper.

We got up at 5.15 this morning but even with an early start the time will roll around. I must get at the developing as the films need a great amount of soaking where running water is not available for washing them. There are a number of questions that I want to take up but must put them off until my next. 

Hoping that you will not wear yoursely to a frazzle and that the rest that you obtained in the mountains may help you for some months. 

I am as ever,

Warmly and sincerely yours, 
George H Pepper

Mrs. Pepper sends her best regards.
