January 16. 1905.
Mr. Charles H. Levermore
Adelphi College,
Brooklyn, N.Y.
Dear Sir:
On January 10th, Mr. Woodruff wrote you that he had asked Mr. Reid to deliver an address at the College Convocation the 31st of this month.
We have a letter this morning from Mr. Reid. In which he state that it will be impossible for him to be present. as he has an engagement for that date.
He wishes to have conveyed to the Board his sincere regrets that he is unable to respond to the first call of the kind from Brooklyn, since he became Chancellor.
Mr. Woodruff is out of the city, but expects to return about the 20th.
Yours very truly.
