My Dear Sir

I see it announced that my ship will
sail positively on the 31st. I will therefore be in New york
by the 28 or 29th to complete my arrangements for the
operations of the ensuing summer. I hope I shall find
you there.

Will you please tell Mr. Grant that it will be unnecessary
for him to write to me unless he should ascertain
that some change in the time of the sailing of the 
ship has been made.

Should your business be such that you cannot 
be in N. [New] York when I come there you can probably make
an agreement with Mr Grant to attend to the procurring
of paper etc.

Besides the common driers Dr. Gray suggested that I
ought to take a small quantity of something like tea paper]
for the preservation of some very delicate plant,- also
some sheets of strong manilla of large size for wrappers,
also twine etc. to make packages as secure as
possible.

Very respectfully
yours
Charles Wright
