It will be a great pleasure for me to dine with you on Saturday next, the 10th. I should have called on you before this, but have been so much occupied since my return to town, that I had not a moment to pay any such civilities, to my great personal regret.
Very truly yours,
Arthur Dwight.

My Dear Mrs. Cole:—
I would have been delighted to accept your kind invitation to dine with you on Saturday the 10th, but unfortunately I have promised to be present at a large public dinner on that day.
Believe me,
Very truly yours,
Arthur Dwight.
