Item Information

Title:
Edward Hitchcock letter to Benjamin Silliman, 1832 June 8
Description:
A letter to Benjamin Silliman in which Edward Hitchcock says he is returning several books he had borrowed from Silliman, while noting that he has kept a few books for the time being. Hitchcock also asks Silliman several questions, wondering if Silliman has certain texts and certain geological specimens that he could temporarily lend him; one text is particularly needed by Hitchcock to set up an apparatus for his chemistry course at Amherst. The letter appears to be missing additional pages.
