New Haven Sept^r 13, 1843

My dear Sir,

Your communication is received but is too late for the October No. I expect to go for Hanover on monday next & wish you would if practicable let me see you a moment at the hotel where I propose we dine. I will then arrange with you for a little more time on my return in the ensuing week. I shall expect to leave Hanover on Monday Sept^r 25^th & to be in Amherst the next day, Tuesday. I will remain until wednesday or even till Thursday^x if necessary as I wish to see you & your collection, especially of tracks, & if any place is within reach where I can see them in situ I shall be glad to be directed to it or to go with you if your duties will permit.

We will then confer respecting your reclamation & I shall know from you what has induced you to make an appeal, concerning the expediency of whose appearance we (my son & myself) have great doubts.

But I will not enter upon the subject now

^xI shall hope to reach Hartford on thursday on my return.
