GREAT SALT LAKE CRY, L. T., Sept. Is, 1875
GrNrLHNEN: have received your note OF the
lth requesting to meet yo1 st dinner before my
departure from the Territory thank yon Tor the
expression of kind feeling which accompanied the in-
vitation and shall welcome cord ally 80 yourselves
every opportunity of the expression OF car mutual re-
gard The social relations into which we have been
forced by the events of the last twolvc-month, are
such that it is impossible that we should not have
formed close friendships which will be more durable
than the state of affairs in which they had their origin
But my arrangements have been made tor start ng
the l5h and that fact alone would prevent an ac-
ccptance, there not other reasons To induce me
to decline an invitation 10 any gathering involving
publicity.
In the assurance and desire of reoining you after
bref interval am, with great regard yours respect
fully ID. r. EcKELs.
To DR.. GARLAND HuRr, CH. MAURICE SMITH, esq, and
others.
