Jonathon,
Agree that there are 2 handwritings and the body is most likely Craige’s. More importantly, I also think it is likely the side writing is by George Wright. I am no expert or authenticator but I collect George Wright and have seen numerous examples of his handwriting. I probably should have bid more, but I am very glad you have it. |

I have never seen a Wright where he did not carry the final stroke to make the cross of his t and it usually slants down. Even in the one you posted where it seems like he did, he strokes up and then crosses his t. It is perhaps his most definite telltale characteristic. Yours has a hard stop and then a completely new starting point to cross his t.

I am no expert but the D in Ditson dose not match either of the Capital D's in the samples. The other D in Ditson and the capital D in Doctor from his letter match up and seem quite different from the D in your sample.
