Dear Mr. Garry:

Thank you for your invitation to attend your convention in Salt Lake City September 24-28. I regret very much that because of previous commitments which I am unable to attend to change, I shall be unable to attend. 
I was out of the city when your letter of September 17 arrived, but my office extended your invitation to the superintendents in this area, as you requested. 
Best Wishes for a very successful Thirteenth Annual Convention!

Sincerely Yours,
                               
R.D. Holtz
Area Director
