Dear Sir,

Your favor of the 18th inst
kindly inviting me to be present
on the occasion of the laying {of} the
Corner Stone of the principal building
of the "University of the South" was
duly read. I very much regret
that I cannot attend to witness
the interesting ceremonies--but more
especially, as I entertain the warm
est best wishes for the success
of the work in which you are engaged.

With Great Respect
Your Obt Svt
