Abstract
A letter to Edward Hitchcock in which Benjamin Silliman explains the nature of the coloring of a map done by Sarah Doolittle and the reason for the delay in sending Hitchcock a sample. Silliman also expresses his pleasure with Hitchcock's reaction to the memoir of Eli Whitney, and comments on his disregard for anything [George] Featherstonhaugh has to say about him. He also provides an update on [Robert] Hare's condition after a vial of fulminating silver exploded in and damaged his hand.
