Dear Miss Fries,

Thank you for your kind letter, and for your kind invitation to come to Fontbonne.

I am sorry I cannot accept the invitation toccome to St. Louis this fall, but my schedule is full until the holidays.

I hope you will ask me to come in the spring of 1969. Will you be in touch, please?

With best wishes,

Julian Bond
