</mods:physicalDescription>
<mods:abstract>A letter to Edward Hitchcock in which Benjamin Silliman asks for Hitchcock's thoughts on correcting a map of the Connecticut River Valley for The American Journal of Science, and requests that Hitchcock send him [Henry] De la Beche's view. Silliman also expresses his hope that when Hitchcock is in better health he will be able to address the people who "neither listen nor learn," and discusses the price and content of [William?] Buckland's second volume text on chemistry.</mods:abstract>
