if it should he concluded, that such a communication
ought to be made, it would have an incalculable good
effect, if it could be presented to our legislature
about the time that the Commissioners offer their
annual report. This may be done, if your legisla-
ture meets in January, as I am informed it will.

I send by the mail, two copies of our reports to
the legislature, and a letter from Robert Fulton

to
G. Morris, on the advantage of Canal navigation. I
shall be very glad to hear from thee soon by mail,

And am, &c., THOMAS EDDY.

I was favoured, about ten days ago, with your
letter of the 28th ultimo, enclosing the copy of one
from you, of a prior date, to Mr. Barent Bleecker

.

As yet, I have received no communication from
Mr. Wright

, on the subject of the memorial, which

to Salina. I found
them unanimously of opinion, that the measure was
well calculated to improve the navigation—that it
ought to be zealously pursued—and that they would
individually contribute their best endeavours to pro-

The work of canalling the Seneca Falls, is pro-
gressing with every prospect of being completed by
