220 Proceedings of the M. L. Sociebj, S^^c. [No. 32, 1847.] 



To 



T. C. Jerdon, Esq. 

 Dear Sir, 



I have received a large chest of Minerals from General Cullen, part of 

 which he requests I will send to the Museum of the Literary Society; I 

 believe they are all, or chiefly, specimens of a peculiar species of limestone, 

 which General Cullen considered likely to be valuable as a water cement, 

 and he requests me to make some experiments with it. T have not been 

 able to do more than make a single trial, of which I will report the re- 

 sult to him. As the box is a heavy one, 1 shall be much obliged if you 

 will kindly inform me where to send it and to whose care it ought to be 

 consigned. 



Mint, ) Your's truly,
