          minerals with great care, & as he thinks to good
purpose. He is a fine fellow a dear friend of
mine. Of Emmons I have nothing to say - he
is busy,  I have no doubt.

Your [vigil?] with [John Eatton] Le Conte [?] for the
man. I should be glad to see him & know him. Of 
Dr. [?] I have heard nothing.

I know Mr. [John Dean] Dickinson of Troy but I suspect
I could not get minerals from him. [?]
[?] not many pass thro' his hands. I know not
whom to apply to for those minerals. I have [?]
not as to their worth, but got no answer yet.

[Not?] Cyanite, as you call it rightly, from Emmons,
is curious indeed but there is no doubt about
it. I have [?] on the [?] & now it in so many states 
& looks, that it must be not Cyanite probably
contains more iron or less of something else than the
common variety.

[Not?] [?], I send, [?][?]
but just glosses into a qhite [?] & some looks
not like S. at all. It has been appended to the [mach?] - but
is not the [mach?] of N [New] Hampshire. [Not?] [?] &
[?] others, melts into a black [fog?] or [?] - different from
what is said of talc. I am about to give Silliman a paper
ono the [project?]. The Gibbsite mine is not worked
now, nor has been this summer. A little was got the
other day, & I had a [?] to send you.

Do let me 
know of my plants in the total - & do tell me [?]
what minerals you want [?], that I may have, &
if practicable, I shall put them up immediately.

Yourj friend, C. Dewey
