Dear Dr.,

I returned from Cambridge
last night having been there somewhat
more than a week looking
daily for a letter from you relative to
those books, but none came.

Now don't your conscience
smite you for noncompliance with
your promise? I commend you 
to Miss Jane as the object (in my 
stead) of a moral lecture on the
obligation of contracts agreeing [crossed out: to]
on my part to dispense with [one?]
[on?] honesty or the law of meum &
tuum.

I left Dr. Gray & family well.

I have permission to remain here
