Rt. Rev. & Dr. Sir,

I have rec'd your
kind invitation to be present at
the laying of the Corner Stone &c of
the University of the South, &
would accept it with peculiar
pleasure, were it in my power
to be absent from home, at the
time indicated in your note.

Hoping that great success will
attend the noble undertaking & re-
gretting that I am obliged to
