Rt Rev'd & Dear Sir,

Yrs of the 5th Sept
has been re'd. I was {illegible: thus? there? then?} {illegible}
with North{?} and have just returned.
I regret that I shall not be able
to accept your kind invitation
to be present at the laying of the
Corner Stone of the University.
With hearty wishes for the
success of your noble enterprise

I remain, Dear Sir,

Yrs truly

Tho. S. Sawyer
