Dear Dr. Wallace

Mrs. Gray reminds me of what I should have said to you on Wednesday.

That we hope you will find it convenient to pass the night with us on Wednesday 17th.

We don’t dress for [2] our social club. Come in morning dress.

Take from Bowdoin Square — in part of the Revere [1 word illeg.], the [1 word illeg.] car labelled Mt. Auburn and Soden St.— and be dropped at Chauncy St. near us.

The quarter past [3] 7 is better as it will bring you in time for a quiet half hour or near it before our friends turn up, which they do most promptly at 8.

Sincerely Yours | Asa Gray1 [signature]
