          Friday Morning. 


 My Dear Friend 


 I send you to-day 
 a newspaper containing the programme
 of the procession at the 
 inauguration next Thursday. 


 The Corporation do not give 
 general invitations beyond New England. 
 (Your special invitation is in 
 my hands. I will retain it 
 till you come. Come at least 
 as soon as Tuesday evening. 
 Do not think of travelling Wednesday 
 night, as you would be too much
 worn for properly enjoying the 
 affair, and any little accident or 
 delay on the route would bring 
 you too late to join the procession
 which itself will fill the church 
 perfectly, all but the galleries, 
 which are reserved for ladies &
 which will be a perfect jam 
 as soon as the doors are opened.


 To secure their own families
