Natchez Sept 20th
Rt Rev Bishop.
Your kind note bearing an invitation for my husband to attend the laying of the cornerstone is just received, but unfortunately finds him absent from home.
He has been sojourning at the North for some time past- and I fear will not be able to be present. But I will forward the note to him. With esteem I bid you adieu. Mrs. H.B. Percy.
