Wilmington Sept. 27 1860

To

The Rt. Rev. Jas H Otey D.D.

Bp. of Tenn.

Dr. Sr:

Your kind invitation
of the 3d inst, to be present on the
occasion of laying the Corner Stone
of the University of the South, is
received. I regret very much
that I cannot accept same.
I have but just returned to
my Parish after an absence of
two months. To leave again so
soon would hardly be advisable.

Very Respectfully

Yours

Jonathan A. Wainwright
