Title: Andover, 14 Dec. 1829. Mr. Edward Robsinson, Paris (France). To the care of Messrs Curtis & Porter

Abstract: F-5 1829, Dec. 14 Letter to E. R. from Moses Stuart in Andover. Communicates news of the faculty. Dr. Wisner declined the new professorship when the Board of Visitors dropped "Pastoral Theology" from the title, which now reads Prof. of Eccl. History. Trustees appointed Rev. Ralph Emerson of Norfolk, Ct to that position. Dr. Porter is very ill and is on leave, and Mr. Stowe is Stuart's assistant. Farrar is pursuing plans to design a position specifically for E. R. and has even reserved the house of a former colleague for E. R. and his family. Apparently the trustees are reluctant to appoint someone to a professorship who is not already "a Pastor,"and that may explain why E. R. was not selected. Stuart discusses his publications, comments on books received from E. R., and lists other titles needed for the library.

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 1829, Dec. 31 Letter to E. R. from Sam. Farrar of Andover. He tells E. R. that he wants to "take off all restriction and limitation as to the amount of purchase, and leave it to your discretion" so that as many books can be purchased as possible before E.R. leaves Europe. Also indicates that Mr. Flagg, publisher of E. R.'s Lexicon, has such a low inventory (80 copies) he can no longer sell to booksellers abroad. "A new edition will be demanded."

Geography: Cambridge (Mass.), Southington (Conn.)
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.
