          done by putting it into two vols [volumes] - a foolish plan 
& tho it is printed to be bound in one, that does not inform
the price, so long as it is bounded in two. Still I should be
sorry to have you or any other make Phillips a substitute
by [many?]. The fact is, that [Chorland?] is not too
full, & [?] Phillips is greatly enlarged in its [?],
it can not be a substitute for any one who does
any thing - & those who buy it, will get [Chorland] also.

[Sidnographite?], I have not yet had of you.
You did not send me any Columbite you talked about it 
only & said LeConte had partially examined it but
you sent none. I want Columbite also.

I have a new mineral, I think, on hand. I have got
[?][?] & iron, & hope soon to tell what it
is. It is [not?] a Fibrolite but has other characters, which will
separate it far enough. And I am now getting the analysis
of another but can not tell it, till know
what it is.

[Ebenezer] Emmons was here at [court?]. But I could see 
him only a  few moments. He was called away too
before it was over & I [lost?] the opportunity of
seeing him next day. He is a good fellow -& is a very
acute observer.

Silliman will undoubtedly miss [Chorland?]
immensely they are great friends. You [?] [Chorland?]
has followed his suggestions in most particulars.

I have [?] [?] for you, & [?]
others [?] plants to me. Do give me the authors to
the names you write me. Do you get plants from 
Dr. [Jacob] Porter of Cummington? He is an odd stick - &
now just got a few [?] from him - & put up some for him.

Let me know [?] soon, & [?], as ever, your friend

C. Dewey

[left margin]

This letter goes by Mr George Griffin's family. His son, Edmund, 
who has seen you, has been here, & gives a good account of your house
[?]. I hope he will send you this.

Can not you get me a genuine diamond a cystal, what will it cost? I would
like to know, that I may tell you, whether I can buy it. I want one much.
