P.O. Box 369
Georgetown, Delaware 19947

Dear Justice Holland,

Thank you for your letter of November 15th, inviting me to attend the American Inns of Court dinner and awards presentation to be held in October 2002. As you may imagine, I receive a number of requests such as yours and I have adopted a firm policy of not committing myself to anything more than a year in advance. Should you wish to renew your invitation closer to the date I would be happy to consider it.

Sincerely,
William Rehnquist
