"My Dear Mr. Fraser:-Your ex-
tremely kind invitation to partici-
pate in your Frontier Day Festi-
val is at hand; and, assure you
that my pleasure in receiving it is
only equalled by my regret in be-
ing unable to accept it. The pio-
neer services rendered by the he
roic cowboys, are impressed so
deeply on the Nations heart as
to be simply imperishable. l have
had little experience with them
and my recollections of them will
live as long as God permits me to
reside on this mortal shpere. Az
though 1 cannot be with you my
place will be filled by my sons, who
have Ct fondly believe) done their
full share in helping to build up
your young and glorious State. AS
your time will be fully occupied
during the preparation for your
splendid festival, | will not further
cncroach on it, 50 hoping you will
have the finest weather God can
bestow on you and that the results
will be in every respect worthy OF
the efforts you are all making, and
that no clouds OF any kind will cast
their shadows over your festivities
l am,
Your sincere friend.
