[[preprinted]] (4185-20 M.) United States National Museum [[line]] MEMORANDUM. [/preprinted] with the Miocene or the Tertiary. From all I have heard and from specimen given by sailors it must be a very interesting locality x I tried once to see it but failed. I went down there but could not get board so had to leave with my finger in my mouth- I would advise you to go down on the river steamers prepared with a tent to go to housekeeping upon your own [[strikethrough]] hoof [[/strikethrough]] hook- xxx I shall write this week to Jude Stuart of Alexandria, Va. for a letter to his brother Dr Stuart who lives near the cliffs, who at least if he cannot give us board can help us in
Transcription Notes:
A word and a name (shared by brothers) are not certain. The name might be Stuart.
It appears to be Stuart to me. - SL
