Rt. Rev. J. H. Otey

My Dear Sir

Your invitation to attend the laying of the corner stone of the University of the South is received. I thank you for it.

My engagements at home compel me to forego the pleasure of being present on so interesting an occasion.

With sincere hopes for your health & happiness I am very truly yours
