MY DEar SR,

Your kind invitation to attend the reception to be given the Reverend A. M. Garin, O. M. I. is received and contents noted. I fully appreciate your kindness in this invitation and it will be a pleasure to me to be present as an earnest of my regard for the Reverend Father while I have never had the pleasure of even an introduction to him. I know him but to respect him in common with the citizens of every race and creed in this city. I feel deeply the honor you confer and will be present if my health permits.

[am yours very respectfully,
