Dear Sir:
I have the honor to acknowledge your application for school blanks and to forward:

50 copies Form No. 2,
200 copies Form No. 4

Owing to a press of business, I am reluctantly compelled to decline your kind invitation to be present at the dedication of your Normal School building. Would be most happy to accept.

Very Respectfully,
J.W. Alvord
Gen. Supt. Schools.
