Abstract
I have just noticed Prof. Webster's note an the tomb of Thomas Say, and it may be of interest to your readers to know that I have recently visited New Harmony, Ind., and met Mr. John Crobin, the owner of the old Maclure home, where stands the tomb of the father of American descriptive entomology. Mr. Corbin, as Prof. Webster states, is much interested in the proper preservation of this tomb, and is much interested also in the history of Thomas Say. In fact, I found many people in the little village of New Harmony who knew about Say, and who were distinctly of the opinion that his residence in their village sheds lustre on its history. The village library is an admirable one, housed in a beautiful building, and among the treasures of the library are certain of Say's manuscripts, among others, one written upon the day of his death.
