My dear Sir:
I appreciate your kind invitation to attend the 140th anniversary of the settlement of Upper Canada by the United Empire Loyalists in June next, and thank you.
Unfortunately, I shall be unable to give myself the pleasure of attending this celebration as I am in the midst of a series of important investigations that require my constant presence at the Laboratory and I am unable at this time to make any appointments for the future.
Yours very truly,
Thos A Edison
