- F-1 1822, Jan. 5 Letter to Charles Robinson in Southington, CT from E. R. in Andover. Edward gives his brother directions about his belongings, especially his books, that were left in Clinton, etc. Located among the various deeds pertaining to properties in Clinton (cited elsewhere) were two small papers (undated) which appear to be related to the letter cited above. One is in E. R.'s hand and is signed by him. It is a list of things to be done for him in Clinton, such as "bring home from Mr. W [illiams] the following papers, viz. Mrs. Kirkland's deed," and pick up "nos. of New Edinburgh Encyclopedia at Wm. Williams." Some of the requests have information penciled in above or below them. The second paper is in a different hand and is a list of 16 "books not found," including Prof. Norton's Discourses and Woodworth's Poems.
