Abstract: F-5 1829, May 5 Letter to E. R. from Moses Stuart in Andover. Reiterates concerns expressed in a previous letter that trustees of the seminary are purposely delaying any decision concerning the professorship vacated by Murdock. Assures E. R. that the faculty desires his return to Andover, and hints that if the trustees fill the present vacancy with someone else, then the faculty will press for the creation of a new position just for him. Refers to the "noble haul" of books E. R. shipped from Paris for Andover's library, but complains that several volumes arrived without maps. Submits Farrar's latest request for library books.

Abstract: F-6 1828, Dec. 10 Letter to E. R. from Nehemiah Adams of Andover, Corresponding Secretary for the Society of Inquiry. A long letter responding to E. R. request for information about revivals and the state of religion in the region. Adams indicates that "at our monthly concerts it was not uncommon to hear of revivals in 30 or 40 different places in the U.S." Recently that number has greatly diminished, due in part to the increased activity "from Rome for the propagation of the Catholic faith." He discusses the differences between the Catholic priests and Protestant ministers with respect to theological education and knowledge. Mentions that Andover Seminary was "never in so flourishing a condition, with 125 students," and that the dismissal of Dr. Murdock did nothing to diminish the seminary's prestige.
