We sincerely hope that you may be able to accept this invitation thereby enabling the University to honor itself in honoring you. I am enclosing a Commencement program. You are asked to be at Woodbridge Hall in Academic costume without hood Wednesday morning, June 22nd, at 9:45 o'clock promptly. If you do not happen to have a cap and gown and do not care to borrow them from friends, they may be secured from Messrs. Cotrell & Leonard, State Street, Albany, N. Y.As Commencement comes this year a week earlier than usual and as there is only three weeks before the Exercises, I would very highly appreciate & telegraphic reply at my expense.
