Dear Dr.

I expect to return to Wethersfield on the 20th [?]
and shall be ready then to do anything I can for you. Please 
write to me there.

We are much disappointed at not seeing you here. To the very 
last day of the past week we flattered ourselves that you would be
here every night because you did not write and we hardly can
guess why you have kept us in such suspense day after day.

I have distributed all my collections nearly to the [end?] of
Compositae when the labels gave out and I was obliged to stop.

I want to make preparations for returning to Texas as soon 
as I can before winter comes on.

Very truly

Yours

Chas. Wright
