Rt Rev & dear Sir.

As I take a deep interest in the University of the South, it would give me very great pleasure to attend the services at University Place on the 10th inst. But my distance from the place -- & my duties here render it impossible. Prayers that the great Head of this Church may give his blessing to the enterprise & make it con ducive to his glory & the best interests of our Country. I am my dear Sir, your friend

& Brother
