Abstract
Two letters to Edward Hitchcock. Benjamin Silliman writes to Hitchcock asking if Hitchcock would like "First Anniversary Address" in the next issue of the Journal of American Science. Silliman also tells Hitchcock his thoughts on John Pye-Smith's recent work; he likes it except for Pye-Smith's views on the reconstruction of the world in six days. Benjamin Silliman, Jr. then writes to Hitchcock, asking if they may abridge the address for the Journal. Silliman Jr. further questions Hitchcock about the rules surrounding being an officer for the Association of American Geologists so that it may be correctly represented in the Journal.
