Abstract
A letter to Benjamin Silliman in which Edward Hitchcock writes about lecturing Silliman will soon be doing in Nantucket, about examining fossil footprints which James Deane believes to be made by birds, and writes scathingly about George William Featherstonhaugh and his work as a geologist. The document also contains a letter to Edward Hitchcock from Benjamin Silliman, written in the margin of the first page of the original letter and readdressed. In it, Silliman draws attention to a passage in Hitchcock's original letter in which Hitchcock requests that Silliman not publish Deane's report on the fossil footprints until he receives and reads Hitchcock's report.
