Respected Lady:
Business and sickness have prevented my answering your letter, and coming to the festival to day.  I hope you are having a pleasant time.  Please write me about the result.

I shall be very glad to visit Rockville at some other time when the people assemble, and hope to be advised of such meetings.  P.S. You close school now.

Very Respectfully Yours,
Superintendent of Education
