tactful refusal to an invitation
dear mrs. james,
i’ve been putting off this note until the last possible moment, hoping mr. jackson would get back from london in time for your dinner party. but now i must regretfully write that he’ll still be out of town on thursday, the fifth; and we therefore cannot accept your kind invitation for dinner on that day. it was sweet of you to invite us; and i know mr. jackson will be as sorry as i am to miss an evening with you and dr. james. we know how delightful such evenings at your house usually are.
sincerely yours,
susan jackson
