Dear Sir: regret exceedingly my inability to
be present at the Portland Centennial Anniyersa-
nv, the very beautifully engraved invitation to
which has reached me, but the absence of my
partner east will prevent my accepting the kind
invitation. Nothing would afford me more pleas
ure than to visit the scenes which were so famil-
lar to my boyhood days, and to meet once more
the friends that an occasion like this will draw to-
getber after long years of absence. But rest as
Snred that on the 4th 18th and 9Th of July. 1856.
