C-4 1821, Dec. 1 Letter to E. R., Southington, CT from J.T. Kirkland, Cambridge, MA. It seems that E. R. had sent a plan for "studying divinity at Yale, Harvard, or Andover" to his brother-in-law (son of Samuel Kirkland and Pres. of Harvard) and this is John's reply. Enclosed in the original letter was another from Dr. Popkin at Andover [?] who apparently thought it would be a good idea for E. R. to study at Andover, especially with regard to his planned edition of the Iliad. In a postscript, John tells E. R. that Harvard would patronize his new book, if it is recommended by the Greek department. Suggests Dr. Popkin read the manuscript before it goes to press.
Note
1821, December 1 - Letter to Edward Robinson from John Thornton Kirkland regarding Robinson's plans to study divinity at Yale, Harvard, or Andover.
