          Glad to hear that I am somewhat
gaining credit in your family.
Should I be so fortunate as to receive
any more of the same moral lessons
I shall endeavor to profit by them
to the [crossed out: utmost] utmost.

Would it not be well to consult 
Prof. Bailey as to the best manner
of collecting algae & the apparatus
most approved by him. Will you 
apply to him on this matter.

Prof. [Baird?] desires information
relative to the paper books &c [etc.] soon.

Yours truly

Chas. Wright
