House of Representatives,
Washington, January 8, 1909.
Hon. Thomas Z. Lee,
Providence, R. I.
My dear Sir: I have the honor to acknowledge receipt of a ticket to the annual banquet of the American Irish Historical Society, to be held at Hotel Raleigh January 16, 1909, at 7 p. m., and sincerely thank you for the favor.
Will endeavor to be present, but on account of business appointments that I have about that time that will take me away from Washington and probably will not allow my return in time, would suggest that you do not figure on my making any remarks at the meeting.
With best wishes for the Society’s success,
Very truly yours,
Bird S. McGuire.
