Gentlemen: l am alike impressed with the

been gOOd enough to address to me and with
The form alike fiattering and cOnsiderate In
which 1t has been convey d. While l anu
sensible of strong reasons which would make a
visit TO your great country an object of Just
and warm desire / have for some lime felt that
my advancing years have placed an obstacle In
IIs way such as l could hardly hope to sur
mount. Undoubtedly your letter has supplied
the strongest motives for an attemp to brave
the impossible, but l regret TO say 1t reaches
me at time when. even If 1 were much
younger, it could not induce ME to consider this
question.
The surgical treatment of my eye for cata-
ract, which began recently with the usual ope-
ration. will not be concluded for nearly two
months. and until that treatment shall have
reached It's conclusion-iD about that time-I
will not be able to look with confidence to a
date for the restoration of political and useful
vision. Under these circumstances, however
sanguine as TO the eventual issue / may feel, l
am incapacitated from the contraction OF pros
pecive engagements, and am sure that you
and the many distinguished gentlemen who
joined you will feel with me that this Is the only
reply l can make to your proposal.
beg you to accept and convey to them the
assurance of my grateful thanks and unaltera-
BILE interest in your country. Believe me most
faithfully yours. w. E. GLADSTONE.
