Abstract
A letter to Edward Hitchcock in which Benjamin Silliman discusses [Henry] Witham's memoirs on fossil trees and the implications they have on Hitchcock's thoughts about the red sandstone of the Connecticut River Valley and New Haven's and its suggestions for geological antiquity. Silliman also suggests that Hitchcock should be given a laboratory at Amherst College with better ventilation to alleviate sufferings caused by chemicals, and also explains his inability to visit Hitchcock due to a previous commitment to address the American Institute in Boston.
