Mr Jas. H. Otey --

Sir,

Your very
kind note of Invitation to
the Ceremony of laying the
Corner Stone of your University
has been received, and I am ex-
ceedingly sorry that it is impossi-
ble for me to attend. The opening
of the Session here under a new
system requires my constant at-
tention. With the kindest regards
I am sir your most obt. servt.

L.{?} C. Garland.
