Scope and content:

[personal advice, refers to his idea to construct a bridge either over or below Niagara Falls and how wonderful the prospect sounds, especially to have one's name associated with such an endeavor; survey work and future plans for constructing and extending the line from the Hudson to the Mississippi and then to the Rocky Mountains (over 30 years); mentioning DeWitt Clinton's (1769-1828) previous work in the area [as canal commissioner?]
