Dear Sir:Ⓐemendation Having already accepted an invitation to a dinner in celebration of the 261st anniversary of the landing of the Pilgrims, I am forced to decline the present one from sheer lack of storage room. And I do it with the sincerest regret, &Ⓐemendation also with some degree of rancor against the Pilgrims because they did not split up &Ⓐemendation land on different days; for if they knew anything at all, they must have known that they were getting up an anniversary, &Ⓐemendation that to cramp it rigidly down to a single date would be an inconvenience to people by-&-byⒶemendation.

With many thanks for the compliment of the committee’s invitation,Ⓐemendation

L. P. Hubbard, esq., secretary.Ⓐemendation
