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

My Dear Bishop;

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

It will give me great
pleasure to be with you on the
15th prox, -- provided it shall be,
by any arrangements, practicable
for me to leave home at that time.
Our term is just opened, with
an unusually large number of
boys, and it may{underlined} turn out that
I cannot safely leave. But I shall
spare no pains to make{underlined} it practicable
to be with you on that very interest-
ing 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

J.{? T.?} Y. McMasters
