Dear Friend Seligmann
   You must not be absent from  New York on the 13th inst. the night of our annual dinner, as I know you will have an enjoyable time. It will give me much pleasure to write your son and he will receive a formal invitation in due course.
As I have arranged for the engagement of a private box for the evening of the 13th inst I will be delighted to have your good wife and your daughter join us Kirby on that evening and be present when the speeches are made.
With warm regards to you and yours I am always
          Yours Sincerely
Jacques Seligmann,
         Th.E. Kirby
