Dear Sir: Since the publication of yours of the

made by you, and to meet you in public debate
have been anxiously waiting the entire recovery
of my health before making any formal reply. Al
though even now, by no means as we'll as would
wish to be for u thorough canvass of the District
will no longer decline accepting your invitation
but will consent to meet you in public debate at as
many Of your appointing MS 1t will be possible lo'
me to attend. Had | been consulted IN making
these appointments, others might have been maze
less likely to conflict with my professional engage
mcnts, but as they have been, for some time, an
nounccd, perhaps it is as well not to disturb 'heh
now. Respectfully,
