MY DEAR SIR,—Your invitation, on behalf of one hundred members of
the Warwick Club, is one of the most gratifying incidents of a very
pleasant tour. I cannot sufficiently thank you for the compliment it
conveys to myself, to my sister in art, Miss Terry, and to my entire
company. We shall all of us treasure it as a delightful memory of
the West, and, for my own part, I shall never be content until I can
respond to it as I wish. I hope the day is not far distant when I may
be able to visit you and your interesting city. I regret, however,
that, so far as the present tour is concerned, Mr. Abbey finds it
impossible to change our programme so as to make it fit your most kind
and hospitable invitation.
With sincere thanks and good wishes, in which Miss Terry joins,
