60°, & 120°. Are these last mentioned crystals described by mineralogists?

I am convinced that the chabasie is abundant in our greenstone, but the weather has injured the specimens near the surface.

I ought to mention that I am assisted in the collection of minerals by Dr. Stephen W. Williams of this town. We have to labour with many difficulties and I hope you will from this consideration excuse our many inaccuracies.

I was detained so long this afternoon in obtaining some chabasie that I have been obliged to put up the minerals in a bungling manner & to write this in great haste as Mr. Nims starts for N. Haven early tomorrow m[orning.]

Respectfully sir your obe[dient]

obliged servant,

Edward Hitchcock
