Rt Rev. J. H. Otey D.D.

Dear Sir,
I have the
pleasure of acknowledging the
reception of your invitation
to be present at the laying of
the Corner Stone of the University
of the South.

Deo volente, I will not
fail to witness the ceremonies
of so interesting an occasion.

Respectfully
Yours,
Thos. B. Lawson
