Washington May 21st 1870

Miss Ida P Marshall
Churchville, Md.

Dear Miss
I am sorry you did not understand my letter better. I wrote you that you had better put off the meeting till after Whitmonday and I think told you I was engaged to go to the M Comas Institute on the 6th of June. I shall write to Mr McComas today and ask him to arrange about it. I am announced for June 6th and am afraid I can not get to your place, but Mr McComas will write to you and make definite arrangements.

Yours Respfy
