Dear Sir. 

Your kind invitation to attend a re-union of the Free Soilers of 1848 on Thursday, Aug. 9th at Melville Gardens is duly at hand.

I accept the invitation with pleasure, and know of no reason why I shall not be present with you on that occasion. 

                                                Yours very truly

                                                E. W. Champney
