[EKStationers] An "Arts & Sciences" Evening with OLD BOOKS . . . RSVP!

[Magic Jaclyn Cook]

Boroness Sabine,
I regret to inform you that I will be unable to attend this gathering. This distance is farther than I am able to travel in my current occupation of student. Thank you for your invitation. Do you read and write french? 
Sincerely,
X
