NAWSA   GENERAL CORRESPONDENCE  Bates, Francis E.

26 Westminster St.
Providence R.I.
May 9, 1881.

Dear Miss Blackwell:
I accepted
your kind invitation for
Wednesday evening immediately
upon receiving
it, but have delayed answering
until the arrival
of this morning's mail
from Boston.

Hattie and I are
agreed that we can
never get along without
each other: i.e. neither
of us can accept
without the other's so doing.

It gives me great plasure 
therefore to accept your
kind invitation and you
may expect us on the
train referred to in your
note.
Very truly yours,
Francis E. Bates
