Some propositions having been made to the public on the subject of a natural bed of Sulphur in Genesee, we wished to obtain information respecting it. Capt Williamson tells me you passed some time in examining it, and I am sure therefore you can give me better information respecting it than any other person, & on which I shall more rely. I pray you therefore to do it without delay, as we are pressed to conclude. the quality of the matter, the quantity existing, and the progress of the reproductive powers, & what kind of an operation suffices to give it due purity for common uses, are the most interesting objects of our enquiry. Accept my affectionate salutations & assurances of esteem & respect.
