Excerpt from Report of the North Carolina Geological Survey: Agriculture of the Eastern Countries; Together With Description of the Fossils of the Marl Beds
I am gratified that another opportunity is furnished me to express my obligations to your Excellency for the interest you still entertain for the Geological Survey of North-Carolina. This fact, while it has been extremely gratifying, serves at the same time to impress me with the importance of the work, and to excite a fear, also, that it may fall short of your expectations, and thus disappoint, not only yourself, but many others who feel and manifest an interest in its success. No one, however, could feel a greater disappointment at such a result than myself; and fearing that my labors, together with the labors of those who assist me, might fail to be satisfactory, I have certainly lost no time, nor spared any work, which I deemed necessary to secure the wished-for result.
With the consciousness, then, of having done this much for its success, I submit with cheerfulness this second report to your Excellency"s consideration.
