House, cordially
invites you to
attend the
premier event of
the 1865 social
season: The

If your dancing
slippers are
mouldy with
disuse, not to
worry! Mr.
Strein and Ms.
Brettman will
explain each
simple dance so
as to inspire
you with
confidence and
grace. President
Abraham Lincoln
will make an
appearance and
greet guests as
they approach
a generous
refreshment
buffet midway
through the
evening. J&V
sincerely hopes
to see you at
the Presidential
Ball of the
Rebellion, the
most civil
affair to arise
from the era of
the Civil War.
