Dear Sir

I have just received the
kind invitation of the executive
Com. to be present at the laying
of the corner-stone of the "University
of the South" My business relations
will prevent attendance on the in-
teresting occasion.

With my best wishes for
the success of this great enter-
prise I remain with respect

T. T. Robertson

Rev J. H. Otey
