Abstract
A letter to Benjamin Silliman in which Edward Hitchcock forwards payment to a Miss Doolittle for coloring the map for Hitchcock's report on the geology of Massachusetts. Hitchcock also mentions some texts he would like to borrow from Silliman as well as some he already has borrowed, and writes in particular about a work by geologist John Macculloch. He incorrectly refers to Macculloch's book as "Principles of Geology," though the actual title is "A System of Geology." Hitchcock additionally comments on some granite and sandstone.
