恭悦至極に存じたてまつり I read this in manga before. Does it say Yasushi Takamori
festival?

I don't understand て in this sentence.

て in 恭悦至極に存じたてまつり
「存じ + [奉]{たてまつ}り」

The て is part of the word 「[奉]{たてまつ}る」. From
[デジタル大辞泉](https://dictionary.goo.ne.jp/jn/137716/meaning/m0u/):

> たてまつる【奉る】  
>  1⃣［動ラ五（四）］５ （補助動詞）動詞の連用形に付いて謙譲の意を添え、その動作の及ぶ相手を敬う。…申し上げる。…さしあげる。「御神体を移し
> **たてまつる** 」「よろしく願い **たてまつり** ます」

Here it's used as a humble subsidiary verb (謙譲の意の補助動詞). 「存じ(る)」 is the humble
language (謙譲語) of 「知る」「思う」. Here it's used as the latter. In other words,
「～～に存じたてまつる」 is the humble form of 「～～に思う」.

「[恐悦]{きょうえつ}[至極]{しごく}」 means "extremely and humbly delighted". 「恐悦」= "humbly
delighted", 「至極」= "extreme"

answer
> 恭悦至極に存じたてまつり（そうろう）

This is an extremely polite expression of gratitude. It sounds like around the
Edo era.  
The て is part of the verb 奉る{たてまつる}. Since たてまつり is the conjugated form to
connect to another conjugating word, here そうろう must be missing.

> 恭悦{きょうえつ}＋至極{しごく}に＋存{ぞん}じ＋奉{たてまつ}り＋候{そうろう}

恭悦至極に = being at the highest point of delight  
存じ（連用形）＜存じる＝存ずる＝ think  
奉り（連用形）＜奉る[補助動詞] 謙譲語[The Humble Language]＝申し上げる  
候 [補助動詞 helping verb] ＝ございます [adds an extra sense of profoundness]
