Dear Sir:
It would give me great pleasure to attend your centennial, but it comes at the opening of the session of our legislature, which of course makes it utterly impossible.
I should be glad to join with you in commemorating the anniversary of a battle which had so important an influence in our struggle for national existence.
Accept my best wishes for the success of the cellebration [sic], and my thanks to you and to the committee you represent for your invitation.
Respectfully yours,
Redfield Proctor.
(Dictated.C.)
