In reply to all invitations from Chicago to share the hospitality of their beautiful homes at any time during the great wonder of the world—the World's Fair—I say: Do not expect me. I have no desire to see or to hear what is offered upon this approaching occasion.
I have a world of Wisdom and Love to contemplate that concerns me and you infinitely beyond all earthly expositions or exhibitions. In return for your kindness, I earnestly invite you to its contemplation with me, and preparation to behold it.
