Mr Jas. H. Otey __

Sir,

Your very kind note of Invitation to the Ceremony of laying the Corner Stone of your University has been received, and I am exceedingly sorry that it is impossible for me to attend. The opening of the Session here under a new system requires my constant attention. With the kindest regards I am sir your most obt. Servt.
