Dear Friend,
Your very kind letter of the 17th reached here upon the evening of date & in reply I would say that in as much as I am not prepared to accept your offer at the present time the only alternative left me is to decline it much as I regret on some accounts to do so I shall be glad ever to regard you as a friend. After every visit you have made me I have esteemed you more highly then before.
You also have my best wishes and prayers for your prosperity & happiness & may all the blessing you have asked upon me be also bestowed upon you by our Father in heaven.
Yours Sincerely & truly,
Mrs. A.E. Forrey
