DeWitt Clinton (1769-1828) was an American politician and naturalist who served as United States Senator and as the sixth Governor of New York; in the latter capacity, he was responsible for the construction of the Erie Canal.
Benjamin Silliman (1779-1864) was an American chemist, professor at Yale University (one of the first American professors of science), and the founder and editor of the American Journal of Science, America's longest continually published scientific journal.
The DeWitt Clinton Correspondence consists of signed handwritten letter from Governor Dewitt Clinton of New York to Professor Benjamin Silliman at Yale University, praising Silliman's new American Scientific Journal (today known as the American Journal of Science).
