My dear Sir: I regret exceedingly that I cannot go with you and be present at the reception to the American Irish Historical Society by His Excellency President Roosevelt, as I anticipate being away from New York about that time.
I believe you will have a very pleasant time and my best wishes go with you.
With all the compliments of the season, believe me,
Fraternally yours,
Richard Deeves.

Dear Sir: Yours with enclosure received. Regret to say I will not have the pleasure of attending the annual meeting of the Historical Society at Washington, as I expect to be in the South at that time.
Trusting you will have the usual good time, I remain
