To Edward Coles

Dr Sir,

Four of the Judges recd the other day an invitation from the President to dine today which we accepted— Judges Livingston & Story inform us that the President requested them to dine with him tomorrow with their associates. We are under some embarrassment in consequence of this information, & I now take the liberty of asking whether the President expects us today or tomorrow? Our brethren are probably mistaken. I am very respectfully yr mo ob. servt

Bush. Washington
