Dear Sir:
The invitations have arrived, & althoughs my wife & I will not be able to attend, we desire to wish yourself & the brideg a long life & as happy a one as ours has been. It will not need to be any happier.
I wish to be cordially remembered to your father & mother, whom I knew a good while before you a ‸we‸re born—a fact which reminds me that I am not as young as I am in the habit of imagining myself to be.
Truly Yours
Samℓ. L. Clemens
