After the preceding memoir had been completed the writer 
received a letter from Prof, dames Hall referring to hi- early 
acquaintance with Dr. Newberry. It is given here entire: 
Albany, N. V.. .March 24, L893. 
M;i Dear Prof. Stevenson: — I had intended to reply more 
fully to your letter of inquiry respecting my acquaintance 
with Dr. Newberry. 
In the early part of April. 1841, I left Albany for Buffalo, 
and thence by steamer, the first one out of the harbor for the 
season, landing at Cleveland : having it in view to take up the 
study of the rocks at this point, which I then supposed to be 
a continuation of the Chemung group, and to follow them, in 
the first place to the Coal Measures and thence across the 
state. From Cleveland I made my way to Ctfyahoga Falls. 
and there met Dr. Newberry, who was -pending- a short vaca- 
tion at his father's house. I found him a most amiable anil 
intelligent young man. deeply interested in natural history 
and conversant with the geology id' his neighborhood, having 
acquired a great deal of knowledge from the study of the 
rocks in his father's coal mines, and otherwise well acquainted 
with the interesting localities within the state. He visited 
with me the localities at Cuyahoga Falls and vicinity, and 
gave me much information in regard to other localities in dif- 
ferent geological formations, which enabled me to arrange my 
itinerary much more satisfactorily than I could otherwise have 
done. He has often said to me that my coming to Cuyahoga 
Falls, fresh from the fields of New York geology, opened his 
eves to things which had not before attracted his attention, 
and decided him to devote himself to geological science. 
While I was imparting this knowledge which we had acquired 
in New York, he was giving me knowledge of the geology of 
Ohio, which enabled me to make the journey across the state 
much more interesting ami profitable in a scientific way than 
it possibly could have been under other circumstance-. 
Dr. Newberry was at that time a young man about nineteen 
years old. while I was in my thirtieth year. Our intercourse 
was of that kind which can be readily understood between per- 
sonsof that age. both earnestly devoted to science ; and before 
we parted we had become fast friends, initiating a friendship 
which continued uninterruptedly for more than fifty years, 
and only ended with his death. 
Dr. Newberry was in every Bense the soul of honor, and no
