Rt. Rev & Dear Sir,

I beg leave to acknowledge
the receipt of your favor (forwarded
to me from Savannah) inviting me
to attend the ceremony of laying
the Corner Stone of the Principal
building of the University of the South.

I very much regret that
it will not be in my power to attend,

Respectfully
Your Obt Svt
