Rt. Rev'd. & dear Sir

Your very kind
and particular letter of invitation
to be present, on the occasion
of laying the Corner Stone of the
University of the South on the
10th Oct. next, was duly received;
and I regret my inability, from
injuries of which I have not yet
entirely recovered, to be present
on so interesting {insert symbol:}an occasion.

But my prayers are offered
for the full accomplishment
of an undertaking commenced
under such auspicious circum=
stances.

With my high regards for the
Executive Committee, I am

Most respectfully & truly

your ob't st

Tho. Brown

Rt. Rev'd Bishop
