Rt. Rev. J. H. Otey, D.D.

My Dear Bishop;

Yours of the the 10th inst. is rec'd.

It will give me great pleasure to be with you on the 15th pray, - provided it shall be, by any arrangement, practicable for me to leave home at that time.

Our term is just opened, with an unusually large number of boys, and it may turn out that I cannot safely leave. But I shall spare no pains to make it practicable to be with you on that very interesting occasion.

Wishing the most entire success to your noble enterprise, whether I shall be with you or not, I remain, Very truly

Yours in the Gospel of X, S. Y. McMasters
