Abstract: C-4 1822, April 9 Letter to E. R. in Andover [?] from his uncle, Asahel S. Norton in Clinton. Apparently E. R. had sent him a "specimen" of his Homer which his uncle found very acceptable. Mentions that the faculty of Hamilton College "considered to introduce it" and thus several copies of it should be sent to Utica. E. R.'s plan for a trip to Europe also meets with his uncle's approval. Norton then gives him some local news: the college is planning to erect North Hall; Nancy Bristoll married Mr. Platt of Plattsburgh.
