Dear Sir:
Your kind isnvitation is received, & I returne my hearty thanks for the compliment. But I am compelled to tender my regrets, as well—& they are hearty ones, too, for it is hard to have to miss the opportunity of having personal experience of this great international event. But I am just leaving on a long lecturing tour & cannot get free.
Very Truly Yours,
G. K. Jewett, Esq.
Samℓ. L. Clemens.
G. K. Jewett, Esq.
