Friday 5 oClock.
Dear Sir
I must entreat your pardon for asking as a favor that you would change the day of honoring us with your Company at the Literary Union. It happens unfortunately that I have a public engagement on the evening of Thuesday at 7 oClock – but any other day will suit me –
I remain Dear Sir
Yours very truly
Dion: Lardner
