          you are doing so much with you all
[?] & pleasure.

The Boston Journal, 
I have not. I can not afford to buy it I
have not the means. There it is.

Can not you get for me the last No. of the 
Mil. Journal without trouble? I do not take it
now. I want to see what is put down. At least,
tell me what Jeffersonite means & where it 
goes. It was apparently put far out of place.

I hope [Augustus] Jessup is better my compliments to
him. [Ebeneezer Emmons left me the very day
your things came, only a few hourse before.
But I shall forward them to him soon
as may be. We had a fair [?] over
some of his minerals - determined
his limonite to be phosphate of lime. And in all
probability a part of this limonite is scopolite. I
come over in part to, on that other mineral which
I did not [?] too. Thos' Troy, Emmons too melted 
it down with great care & it is a gloss or mostly so,
always graphite & not white as that of scop. & [?].
But so it is. I will now tell you 
that the mineral from [Hoddam?] you wished me
to look at, is most certainly granite!! It has all
the common characters. I have got from it, about
64 [?] of iron & about 24 of [?] & some lime.
And I have only to say it is granite.

Now 
do let me know from you soon as may be - 
Cork & [?]!! That is the way -& any thing
else.

As as ever, your friend 
C.D.

[left margin]

I must send the analysis of that 
granite for your Lyceum.

C. insicania in Muhl. must be C. ins. of [anthos?]
& there be a misprint of 166 which is C. [?] for
106 which is the one. The misprint is natural. But our
C. [?] seemsto be C. [?] if I can see C. [?] & [?] I want to [?]
