Abstract
A letter to Benjamin Silliman in which Edward Hitchcock discusses some edits Silliman made to one of his essays, specifically delving into the difference in meaning between the terms "stratified" and "schistose." Hitchcock also writes about his botanical catalog of Deerfield, a newly discovered mineral named Sillimanite, and expresses concerns that his work in geology and botany are affecting his faith.
