- Abstract
- F-6 1829, June 11 Letter to E. R. from John T. Kirkland who is in Paris. Tells E. R. that he did not have a correct address for his residence in Paris and therefore is not surprised that E. R. did not receive his letter of last October. Reiterates what was in that lost letter, namely, he married shortly before resigning from the presidency of Harvard and then planned to travel in the U.S. before embarking on a tour of Europe. In the October letter John not only had asked for advice on travel in Europe but he also relayed the news that his sister, Mrs. Amory [Sarah Kirkland], had died very suddenly. He now asks E. R. to write him in Paris where he plans to stay for a month.
