          or two. I have this [winter?] written the geology 
of Berkshire Co[unty] which may appear in the
next number but one. I have not yet sent it 
but Mr. S[illiman] expects it ere long.

I have been at work too on a mineral, to find it
out - but have done little. I am glad you have
[Jame's?] Grasses I want to see your paper, but
can hardly expect it.

Philosophy & Math. & Chemistry, drive me up
to close confinement here, & I can do little in 
Nat. Hist. I intend this summer however to do
more than I did last year. My health requires
this. Chrysosplenium, Tussilago, Populus, &c. 
are now in blossom & [ready?] to do it &
soon our hills will be full of flowers.

If I go to Newburgh this spring, I
shall let you know it in season for you
to come there, if you please. Early in June,
I expect to tromp over the hills east of us,
& perhaps Mr. [John Dean] Dickinson of Troy will be
with me.

Mr. Wright will be in N.Y.
a week or ten days, & will bring what you
may wish to send. Emmons has written me
for that microscope more than a few times.

With the best wishes your friend
