Abstract: 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.
