          recently come in. 


 I have a pleasant letter 
 from Zuccarini. He tells me 
 I have been chosen a Foreign
 Member of the Royal Bavarian Academy. 


 I have been most uncomfortably 
 unwell for two days, 
 a sort of Influenza, with
 swelled face and all sorts of
 aches & dumps.


 I have endeavored to save 
 the time a little by despatching 
 parcels. By another day, I 
 think I shall be tolerably well 
 again. Time is very precious 
 and I am sorry to lose it. 


 I want to get on so that 
 I can come and visit you (&
 go to Philada [Philadelphia] next month. 


 Love to all.
 Yours faithfully 
 A. Gray
