Abstract
A letter to Benjamin Silliman in which Edward Hitchcock thanks Silliman for putting a notice in the American Journal of Science about a translation of Pierre Louis Antoine Cordier's essay on the interior temperature of the earth done by the junior class at Amherst College. Hitchcock also inquires after a book on chemistry that Silliman is writing, apologizes for not sending Silliman a brief essay about tin, and writes that he regrets to hear about the death of George T. Bowen, a Yale graduate and scientist.
