Dear Sir,
I regret very much that I will not be able to be with you on Saturday, but as I have another engagement for that evening it will be impossible for me to come.
I hope you will win all their money and illustrate to the boys that they know nothing about the game whatever.
Hoping to see you again soon in the near future,
I remain,
Yours truly,
Francis W. Slaughter

I wish email replies were this grand! Ah well, I suppose nothing will ever replace a handwritten--or dictated--letter. :)
