Rt. Rev. Bishop Otey

University Place

Dear Sir

Your invitation to attend the ceremonies on the 10th Inst. at University Place has been rec'd. If prior engagements would permit I do not know any thing which would afford me greater pleasure than to accept. As it is, I am compelled to forego the satisfaction of attending.

Very truly
