FROM PRESIDENT DANIEL C. GILMAN, OF JOHNS HOPKINS UNIVERSITY, BALTIMORE.
Baltimore, February 28, 1899.
George Wilson, Esq., Secretary.
Dear Sir: I regret to be obliged to say that it now
appears as if I shall be prevented from attending the
banquet on Thursday, and it will certainly be impossible
for me to attend the meeting of the Committee on
Wednesday.
I greatly honor the recipient of this testimonial, and I would not willingly be wanting in any token of my admiration and regard.
Yours truly,
FROM THE REV. ANDREW V. V. RAYMOND, D. D., PRESIDENT OF UNION COLLEGE, SCHENECTADY, N. Y.
February 10, 1899.
Mr. George Wilson, New-York City.
Dear Sir: I am in receipt of your very kind invitation
to join in the dinner to be given upon the seventieth
birthday of the Hon. Carl Schurz, in recognition of
his personal qualities and great public services. I wish
to assure you of my hearty sympathy with the object of
this gathering, and my sincere regret that a trip to
the south will make it impossible for me to be present
on the evening of March 2d.
Yours very truly,
