Miller is very grateful for Samuel Kirkland's journals which he just received.

Abstract: The reason for Samuel Kirkland not receiving any money from the board is that Kirkland didn't teach Mr. Palmer the Indian Language or prepare him for missionary duties. The board is disappointed that Kirkland spent only half the time at Oneida during the summer. Miller suggests a list of important words be drafted up in English and Indian to help in communication.

Geography: Andover (Mass.), Norfolk (Conn.)
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, Aug. 31 Letter to E. R. from Moses Stuart in Andover. Relates how the trustees met and created a Professorship of Ecclesiastical History and Pastoral Theology, to which they appointed Stuart, Moses, ǂd 1780-1852 of Old South Church in Boston. The seminary faculty opposed the position because there was an urgent need for a Professorship of Biblical Rhetoric and thus the matter was referred to the Board of Visitors. Announces he and Stowe are planning to issue a Biblical Inquirer, with the hope that E. R. would assume responsibility for its publication when he returns from Europe. Mentions that Hodge has dropped publication of Biblical Repertory and has taken up a kind of religious magazine. In his discussion of books on geography, Stuart decries the lack of maps in them: "Above all, maps, maps, maps. I am beyond measure astonished that the Germans have not better maps for sacred geography. And this leads me to say what I have greatly at heart, pursue your plan of Sacred Geography." The postscript lists books needed for the library.
Note: 1829, August 31 - Letter to Edward Robinson from Moses Stewart, requesting, among other things, that Robinson publish Stewart's Biblical Inquirer and continue to "pursue your plan of Sacred Geography."

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.
