Knoxville Oct. 6. 1860.

Rt. Rev. James H. Otey.

D'r Sir,

I regret exceedingly that
I cannot accept your invi-
tation to be present at the
laying of the corner stone of
what {illegible} will be one of the
most useful educational
institutions of our country --

Having devoted many years
of my life to the work of {illegible}
tion, my sympathies are {illegible}
by enlisted in your behalf. Next
to religion, learning is the greatest
civilizer & the most efficient agenc-
cy for the {illegible: preservation? prevention?} of human
{illegible: suffering?}.

I am very Respectfully

Your Obt. Servt.
