Title:
Benjamin Silliman letter to Edward Hitchcock, 1844 August 10
Description:
A letter to Edward Hitchcock in which Benjamin Silliman reports that he must postpone publishing a piece by Dr. James Deane in the Journal of American Science, but that proofs of Hitchcock's essay were sent to Deane. Silliman offers Hitchcock some advice on his phrasing based on letters from an unnamed English geologist regarding the conflict between Hitchcock and Deane. Silliman does not offer his own opinion on the matter, saying he must be neutral as editor and mutual friend.
