Dear Brother
I have just recd yours
of yesterday & must reply that my
engagements are such that
I can not comply with your
request. My hands are more than
full of labors & I can not
consistently engage to do any
more at least for some weeks
to come. Were I able I should
be happy to accept your
invitation, but as it is I
must decline. With sentiments
of fraternal regard I am
Yours in the bonds of the
blessed gospel.
C. G. Finney.
[A covering letter to Thomas Raffles reads:]
My Dear Dr.
I deferred sending this
until now that I may feel
assured that you were at
home.
Yours very respectfully
S. Evans
