Before introducing Col. Watterson Mr.
Carlisle read this letter from Mark Twain:

that I shall have to be absent when the
Kentuckians foregather to do honor to my
age-long friend and kinsman. Henry Wat

years of annual bronchial attacks have
consolidated in accordance with present-day
policy and become a permanent trust, car
rying on business all the year around
without vacations. Therefore my physician
has forbidden me to attend public gather
ings at night this winter. This with the
idea of saving what health is left to me.
May Watterson long keep his superfuity
of it. since 1t comes of his being about the
best man in the country at the present
time, and. as far as l think. the only one
without SIM.
