 My Dear Sir


 I have just received
 your agreeable note & am quite glad
 to have the prospect of again meeting
 you. Mrs. Holmes desires me to say
 she will be ready to welcome Mrs. T. [Torrey]
 should she accompany you. 


 I believe you have already had an
 invitation from the Local Com'tee [Committee] but
 to prevent mistakes, I send you another.


 Yours truly
 A. F. Holmes
