Hillsborough, N. Car. Sept 27th '60
My Dear Sir,
Your kind invitaion was rec[9?]
to-day, for which I thank you, & which I
accept with pleasure.
Bp. Atkinson will be at the meeting, if
nothing serious hinders.
If you see the "Church Intelligencer",
you will notice that Bp. Gregg's appoint
ments at home cover the period of our
meeting. Indeed, he informed me, some
time since, that a journey to Sewanee was
"too fromidable" in the present lack of
Rail Roads in the South[we?]st. I am very
sorry he will not be with us.
Hoping to see you soon, & with best
wishes for yourself & Lady,
very truly yours,
M.A. Curtiss
