My dear Friend,
I am just home from my
somewhat protracted visit to
my boys at Washington and
find your kind invitation of
me to meet Mrs Hizer and
Hazen at your house awaiting
me. I am very sorry that
my absence from home deprived
me the pleasure of accepting
your invitation. I would have
been quite happy to have seen
and conversed with a lady
for whose intelligence I entertain
so high respect as do for Mrs
Hizer and for Mrs Hazen also
Yours truly always

Frederick Douglass
