Gallatin, October 6th, 1860
Rev. Jas. H. Otey: Sir,
Your note of the 1st instant, inviting me to be present at the laying of the corner stone of the principal building of the University of the South, on the 10th of this month, has been received.
I regret my inability to be present on that occasion; and return my thanks to the Ex. Com. and yourself for the kind invitation.
Respectfully,
W. Trousdale
