Mr Patterson, President of the A.P.S. communicated to me, a few days ago, a letter from you to him, touching the communication of literary & scientific intelligence to M. Julien at Paris. The subject was referred to me as Corres: Sec: of the Society; and your recommendation alone would be sufficient to obtain the most regular attention to it on my part.   I think it well to mention to you that, for some time past, I have sent to Mr Beasley, our consul at Havre, a collection of the new American productions in science & literature, intended for the use of M. Julien. The best mode of imparting the information desired, is to send the numbers of our periodical journals as they appear.

I tender my very respectful compts to your excellent family, & am, with the highest consideration and esteem,   Dear Sir, your faithful servant
