My dear Professor:- Putnam

I suppose you have reached Cambridge by this time so I am addressing this letter to the Museum in hopes that it will find you there. I have been waiting to give you some definite information concerning the expected addition to our family. The great event is now over and my sigh of relief might well have been heard in Boston had anyone been listening. After a rather hard and trying time Mrs. Pepper made me the proud father of two little girls. They were born at 8.30 Saturday morning and all are doing nicely. One of the little ones weighed six and the other five pounds and both are strong and husky. 
 
Mrs. Pepper wishes me to thank both Mrs. Putnam and yourself for your kind wishes at the time when all was so uncertain. It is at such times that friends shine to the best advantage.
 
This is my first day at the Museum since the event and there is so much to do that I shall have to wait a day or so before giving you an outline of the work that we have on hand at present. I have the Navajo blanket material from the West; that is the loom work, and it has far exceeded my fondest anticipations. Will tell you all about it in my next. With sincerest regards to all from Mrs. Pepper and self, I am

Cordially yours, 
Geo. H. Pepper.
