ADDENDA. 
Hon. Nathaniel Silsbee, formerly of Salem, has kindly furnished the 
following note relating to Rev. Manasseh Cutler: ; 
Mr. Silsbee’s father, Nathaniel Silsbee, attended Dr. Cutler’s school, 
and, with Willard Peele, harnessed the vehicle in which Dr. Cutler 
went to Ohio. Dr. Cutler brought with him, on his return, a tulip 
tree which he planted in his garden at Hamilton. It is said that 
the tulip tree grows wild in the Magnolia swamp. 
This last statement has been made by others, although no specimens 
of the tree have ever been seen from that locality. It is possible that 
seedlings may have originated from Dr. Cutler’s tree, but even 
this is uncertain.
