Secretary,

My dear Sir:-- 

I beg to acknowledge your kind invitation to be present at the celebration of the Fiftieth Anniversary of the Birth of the Republican Party, to be held at Jackson, Michigan, on July 6th. 

The event is one of great historical interest, end the exercise will, I am sure, be most interesting. 

I regret exceedingly that a previous engagement prevents my acceptance. 

Yours very sincerely, 
Charles L Freer
