Baltimore Md. 4th. Oct. 1860

[Gentn?]/

On returning to Bal[t?] last after a few [-weeks-?] days absence I found your kind invitation to attend the laying of the corner Stone of your new University - which I have great pleasure in accepting but as I am called away to Norfolk for a day or two to prepare for commencing a new Episcopal Church there - I may be delayed somewhat in reaching Tennessee - & therefore enclose one or two letters which have been kindly furnished me by friends - for your perusal - I can obtain any number of these recommendations - should the Committee desire them -

I shall leave here by

the afternoon Train on Saturday expect to be with you on Tuesday evening at latest -

I am [Gentn?]

Yours [mo?] [obedly?] E. [G?]. Lind
