April 21st, 1851.
My Dear Sir,«-I have this morning your esteemed favor of March 3rd. On the 8 th of same
tnonth I wrote in acknowledgment of your former communication, and thinking perhaps that
I might possibly assist the Society, while I served myself, authorised you to have copied, abstracts
of sea journals, according to form, at 2 cents per day.
I hope that letter has reached you, and that I have been understood with regard to the offer.
None of the packages alluded to by you have been received, except the copy of the Bombay
Times containing the discussion, relative to the Charts, which took place in the Society. I
thank you heartily for it.
In the exercise of the discretion thus given, and in behalf of Dr Buist and the Society, I.
present the set of the Transactions of the Bombay Geographical Society alluded to above, to the
Library of the Smithsonian Institute. I shall so inform the Doctor.
Respectfully, &c.,
(Signed) M. F. Maury.
