Abstract	A letter to an unidentified recipient who appears to be a representative of Rev. Dr. [William Buell] Sprague in which Edward Hitchcock writes that he is forwarding copies of his sermon, "The religious bearings of man's creation" and his address at the dedication of the Geological Hall in Albany, New York. Hitchcock requests that a note be made in the copies of the sermon regarding how they were published. Also included is a note written on behalf of S.B. Woolworth (Samuel B., secretary of the Board of Regents of the University of the State of New York) requesting Dr. Sprague to attend to Hitchcock's request regarding the sermon's publication. The note also requests that the recipient note in the published sermon the occasion upon which the sermon was delivered. The text of the note is not in Hitchcock's hand, though Woolworth's name and title are.
