My Dear Dr

I have just arrived
at Dr. Gray's and learn from a letter
that you have thought of giving up
attending the meeting. I have but
a few moments before the closing of
the mail and these I devote to urging
you to come on. The meeting will
probably be an interesting one and it is
important that you should be in
your place among the naturalists.

Dr Gray and all your friends will be
much disappointed if you do not
come The Dr has plenty of room and
we shall have fine times If you can
not come at the beginning of the week come
towards the latter part and then you
can remain after the meeting adjourns
Mrs Henry and myself are going on to
give Bache and his wife a visit in his
camp in New Hampshire Mrs. H. will
probably not come on until towards
the end of the week She would probably
