Not for the only time, Benjamin Silliman writes to Edward Hitchcock regretting remarks he made about Hitchcock and James Deane during an address he gave in Boston and regrets again that Hitchcock did not voice his complaints about the remarks in a timely manner. Silliman again assures Hitchcock that he remains a devoted friend and that Hitchcock is still held in high regard amongst their colleagues. Silliman suggests that their study of God's works should "bring us back to himself & to the Savior who is our hope."
