Meeting for Business, June 25, 1844. 

 Vice President Morton in the Chair. 



The Monthly Report of the Corresponding Secretary was 

 read and adopted. 



After the transaction of other business, the Chairman laid 

 before the meeting an extract of a letter from Mr. Alexander 

 Maclure, dated New Harmony, June 13th, 1844, tendering 

 to the Academy the sum of $450, being the difference be- 

 tween $5000, the original amount of a claim on an unsettled 

 estate presented to the Academy by his late brother, William 

 Maclure, and the amount accepted by the Institution from the 

 heirs of the estate in payment of the same. 



Whereupon, the following resolution, offered by Professor 

 Johnson, was unanimously adopted: 



Resolved, That the thanks of this Society be tendered to 

 Alexander Maclure, Esq., for the prompt and liberal manner 

 in which he has fulfilled the intentions of his late brother in 

 relation to the Hamilton mortgage, and especially for his 

 very opportune settlement of the balance of said account, as 

 announced by his letter read this evening. 



John Lord Hayes, Esq., of Portsmouth, New Hampshire, 

 was elected a Correspondent of the Academy.
