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."

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.

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 1828, Dec. 10 Letter to E. R. from Nehemiah Adams of Andover, Corresponding Secretary for the Society of Inquiry. A long letter responding to E. R. request for information about revivals and the state of religion in the region. Adams indicates that "at our monthly concerts it was not uncommon to hear of revivals in 30 or 40 different places in the U.S." Recently that number has greatly diminished, due in part to the increased activity "from Rome for the propagation of the Catholic faith." He discusses the differences between the Catholic priests and Protestant ministers with respect to theological education and knowledge. Mentions that Andover Seminary was "never in so flourishing a condition, with 125 students," and that the dismissal of Dr. Murdock did nothing to diminish the seminary's prestige.

Abstract: H-2 1839, May 27 Letter to E. R. in Berlin from Elisabeth in Buffalo. Eagerly awaits his return. Hopes Theresa will find a residence in New York “more to her taste" than what she had in either Andover or Boston and that she will be "happier than formerly." Indicates E. R.'s letter of Dec. 12th never arrived. Harriet is recovering and baby Caroline is well. Describes her trip from New Haven to Buffalo in the company of Mrs. Church (daughter of Prof. Silliman): north river boat to Albany; the railroad from there to Utica; the packet from Utica to Rochester; by railroad to Buffalo. Mrs. Church told her that Col. Trumbull, on his visit to Wilkes-Barre, did not ascertain with any great certainty our descent from the Puritan John Robinson, but he is very sanguine in the belief that such is the fact. He brought home a cane that once belonged to that reverend man.
