Mr.. WILSON,
I was extremely gratifed by the election for d.
rectors in the Delaware and Chesapeake canal, and
particularly, by the harmony which seemed to
prevail, in retaining number of the members of
the old board, whose information must be highly
valuable to the new one and at the same time
uniting with them a number of gentlemen in the
city OF Philadelphia, whose fortune and Influence
seem likely to produce the funds necessary carry
en- the canal do hope, therefore, that this great
work will now proceed; for great indeed, think it
lis, TO this state in particular, in whatever way it
may be effected AS regards the route, think this
rests with great propriety upon the board now
stuted and hope never to see it disturbed again,
but that the canal may be made for certain is,
that whatever route may be fixed upon at first all
the rest may be accommodated by branches which
Twill inevitably follow as it must be the interest of
jail parties, and particularly OF the canal company,

think merits the attention Of those who are already
interested, or wish to become so, or that take an
interest in the improvements Of the state. think
the maps highly valuable, as they gave me aknow-
ledge of the routes and surveys which had been
made from time to time, of which had but very
confused idea before. 1t is also curious to learn
what was done SO many years ago by the Phosos
phica Society his father and other gentlemen I;
and how much they correspond with what has been
done by the present or late board That part of
the subject which relates to the improvement of
Pennsylvania, must, think, be particularly inter.
esting to that state it points out certain mode
iof avoiding all the inconvenience which Philadel-
phia might sustain from the opening of the Sus.
lquehanna by forming route into the canal through
this state. OF the merit OF the different routes |
