Dear Sir
At the request of mr Warden I transmit to the A. Philosophical society an Analysis of tobacco by M. Vauquelin, translated by mr Warden.
Having lately recieved from mr Treat, an officer stationed at our post on the Arkansa, a meteorological diary of two years & three months continuance, I take the liberty of presenting it to the society. I am sure they will recieve with pleasure every essay contributing to our knolege of the different parts of that interesting country. Accept the assurances of my great esteem & respect.
