Vault Early Papers of the University Box 1 Folder 1860 Cornerstone Ceremony 1

Georgetown, S. C. Sept 29 1860

Rt. Rev'd Bishop Otey

My dear sir

It would afford me much pleasure to be present at University Place on the 10th prox'o to participate in the interesting ceremony of laying the corner stone of the principal building of the University of the South, but my business engagements will prevent my doing so.

May God prosper your noble efforts in this truly great undertaking.

With much respect

Your Obt. Svt.

R. E. Fraser
