Benjamin Silliman writes to Edward Hitchcock offering him a place to stay during his upcoming visit. He adds that James Deane has made an amending statement that Silliman will publish in the January issue of his American Journal of Science. Silliman also notes that he has written a piece about his view of "the case of Dr D and yourself", but won't publish it in the journal unless agreeable to Hitchcock.
