A. BOURBONNIERE, ESQUIRE.

DEAR Si,

I beg to acknowledge receipt of esteemed favor, inviting me to attend reception to be tendered Reverend À. M. Garin, ©. M. I, at Huntington Hall, Sunday evening next.

It is with a feeling of deep regret that I am obliged to decline, as my health will not admit of my being out evenings.

As a token of my esteem for the Reverend Father, will you kindly include within check in the purse to be presented him.

With best wishes for his continued good offices in our midst,

Ï remain, yours very truly,
