          intended to examine them, & if I found them to be chromate
of iron, to announce the point in the journal. May not
some specimens contain [octacdral?] crystals of magnetic
iron ore - these are often found in [Serpentine?], especially
that of [?] [?].  You seem indeed to be quite an
analyst this winter.  I hope you will succeed in that cobalt.
Do send me a parcel of your Minerals soon as you can,
& that zinc cobolt & so on & so on.  I want your minerals
much - I shall give away some you sent me from
about N.Y in pay for some now rcd. for you, but in
the hope that I may get more from you to [?] on them.
I have now some fine minerals for you as I think,
which I shall send as the spring opens.  Phosphate of
Lime, have you [?] [?] [?]? Coal, too, from
Penn. that anthracite, I want some much.
Have you any spare mineral, which has dendritic
forms.  You have helped me much - I would
help you, & be helped again.  I hope you will
send me what you can.

I am glad to hear that I may
expect more plants from you the river will soon be
open if they can be got to Dr. Robbins, I shall get
them, or from Troy at Albany by our stage.

I have sent you several crystal which you
have not named to me &, I shall in the spring oblige
you with a new mass of them.  I believe I have
some new lichens too, brought on wood from the
mountains.

Do not impressions of vegetable come
on the Penn. anthracite that is [?] to N.Y? I am terribly
troubled to get some of the abundant Minerals. I can not get any
of the Water Limestone of your state.

I do not believe Eaton's Manual is yet thro' the press.  I
suspect I have told you all - may I not hear from you
soon, for I am as ever your friend   C. Dewey
