Dear Mr. Latney:

Please forgive my not answering your letter immediately, but due to a recent speaking tour, my correspondence has suffered a back-log.

I'm most flattered by your invitation to speak before such a distinguished body. By now you must have arranged for another speaker but I hope you will consider me again for sometime in the future.

Sincerely,

Julian Bond
