Dear friend,

I have never been so overwhelmed
with little entangling concerns as at present.
Tomorrow I move to Troy. I have commenced 
another course there. I take general other 
classes in other towns. I am collecting bills. 
Scaning[Scanning?]Conchology & relics of 
de Snew, who is now here &c[etc.] [etc.] [etc.]

I send you a printed thing, by which
you will know my mode of doing some
things and my success.

You said nothing of your European
jaunt in your last. Talk about
it in your next. The Troy Lyceum [hole in paper] 
do well, I believe.

I have not engaged but the Troy class. Though
I have received about eight invitations from
other places. I shall select among them soon.
I shall take classes along Connecticut or
Hudson rivers. I spend every sixth week 
with each class.

I have at this moment no recollection of 
nary new fact worth noting, excepting
that Dr Steel of Saratoga, is publishing the
Geology of that county in the introduction
to the 2d ed. of his analysis of the mineral
waters. It will be fully accurate, and accompanied
with a geological map.

Yours
Amos Eaton
