Description: Scope/Content: Peter Putnam was a fellow graduate student at Princeton with Hugh Everett. It seems that he had an idea of a way to expand on Everett's thesis and, at Wheeler's advice, sought a meeting with Everett. This note is a follow-up to a somewhat longer letter that Putnam sent the day before.
Scope/Content: This document was found in the basement of Mark Everett in 2007 by Mark Everett and Peter Byrne.
