September 12, 1906.

My dear Governor Pennypacker:

I am sure I owe to your kindness the invitation to your great ceremonial of the 4th of October.

I regret extremely that I cannot be present. I would like to congratulate you personally on the completion of so grand a monument of your admirable administration.

Most sincerely yours,

John G. Johnson.

Very sincerely yours,
Ethelbert Talbot.
