My Dear Dr.,

The enclosed came today from Dr. Gray
with a request that I would forward it to you. I 
ask you to return it to him together with two
others already in your hands.

He hopes you will soon be at lisuer [leisure?] to pay
some of your epistolary obligations being some
3 or 4 in his debt.

He says Pl. Wr. is in the binder's hands and will
be ready for distribution tomorrow.

I have been confined almost to the house all
the week by rain and cold. The ground is base
and frozen. The river is open and nearly clear?.
of ice. The wind blows a young gale and alltogether [altogether]
with nothing to do and no books to read,
time passes rather heavily.

I suppose that it is of no use to ask you to
write to me while so deeply in debt to Dr. Gray.

Kind wishes to your family and to Dr. Parry
if he is with you.

Yours ever

Charles Wright
