Rt Rev Sir,

Your invitation
to be present at the laying of the
Corner Stone of the "University
of the South" has been received.
It would afford me much
pleasure to be with you on so
interesting an occasion but
much to my regret, business
engagements at this time
will not permit me to do so.
With many good wishes for
your success in this great
enterprise, I remain

Your obt servant

Mr. H. Parker

Rt. Rev. Jas. H Otey --
