Thursday morning
My dear Irving,
I cannot promise to / preach for you, for really I want / rest and quiet. More than three / score years have pafsed over me, and / I feel that I must either work lefs / or soon cease to work at all.
I will bring a sermon down, and / must let me determine from my / feelings on Sunday whether I will use / it or not.
Very truly + affectionately
Francis L. Hawks
Rev. P. P. Irving
