Abstract
A letter to Benjamin Silliman in which Edward Hitchcock informs Silliman about some family news, including that many family members have been sick recently and that Orra White Hitchcock has recently given birth to a baby girl [Catharine Hitchcock]. Hitchcock also writes about an apparatus he is trying to set up for his chemistry courses, and that he is fearful his identification of a rock as topaz will prove incorrect and it will reflect poorly on Silliman since Silliman published Hitchcock's identification.
