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.

I have had such a multiplicity of business ever since, that I have not found time to peruse your journals, but your letter I have attended to with great satisfaction, and think that you merit much, by your political as well as religious labors among the Indians. I hope you will from year to year find greater and greater good fruits among them, arising from your exertions to promote the knowledge and practice of true Christianity, and to humanize their minds, civilize their manners, and make them more agreeable neighbors to their Anglo-American brethren. I am very sorry it has not been in the power of Mr. Treasurer Storer to answer more of your demands. The time of your Son's coming was very unfortunate for your purpose, as our Treasury has lately had great drains, and no money can be procured, till the beginning of the next month, from the loan office. Your Son will be able to give you an account of what has passes between him and the Treasurer upon the subject. I have communicated to the Corporation your request, respecting good Peter, and they have voted him the sum of Ten pounds, which I suppose the Treasurer will be able to pay, when he makes you a payment of Salary. I wish you, Sir, all the encouragement and support that your fellow men can give you, in the prosecution of your arduous and important work; but especially do I pray, that you may continually have divine influences and assistance, and all necessary supports from the Father of mercies and God of all grace, and that you may be the happy Instrument of greatly enlarging the Redeemer's kingdom! I am, Reverend Sir, with great esteem your very humble Servant Joseph Willard Reverend Mr. Kirkland Reverend Doctor Willard June 18 1791
