My dear Clarke:-

I have promised myself the pleasure of writing a good long letter to you for some time but there have been so many situations to contend with that I simply have not gotten round to it.

In the first place let me thank you for sending me the article on the Navajos in the Indian School Journal. Secondly allow me to pour into your ears a tale of happiness. Saturday morning, Sept. 30h. Mrs. Pepper made me the proud father of two little girls. One weighed six pounds and the other five. All are doing well and I have had to let out about four inches of vest buckle-bind to insure the safety of the buttons. I am so chesty that it is hardly safe for me to walk fast as it is impossible to see the ground. Seriously, John, I am as happy as any man possibly could be. Mrs. Pepper is doing well and the little ones are fine and dandy.

I have so many letters to attend to to-day that I cannot go into the blanket proposition but I think that I have something that will interest you when I can around to the telling. Until then just think of me as "A happy man" and accept most sincere regards from both Mrs. Pepper and self in which proposition Mrs. Clarke is to be "Senior partner".

Cordially yours,
George.
