Writes, "I beg to acknowledge with sincerest thanks, the receipt of your letter of the 6th instant, conveying to us the unanimous invitation of the Committee of Hungarian Veterans of 48 and 61, to preside at the mass meeting shortly to be held under their auspices in this City. I hail with great pleasure the prospect of the re-union for the purposes so patriotically expressed in your letter and I appreciate most fully the honor proposed to be conferred upon me by the Committee, and would the state of my health permit, nothing would afford me greater pleasure than to be with you on the occasion of your meeting. I regret to say, however, that I shall be compelled very soon to take a vacation for rest and recuperation, I have for this reason, been compelled to decline other invitations. Please convey to the Committee my thanks for their kind invitation, and my sincere regrets that I shall not be able to be with you."
