Summary
Concerning the establishment of an Episcopal College [Trinity College] in Connecticut; saying that Rev. Wheaton is in England soliciting donations of books for the college library but that there seems to be some apprehension there about whether the College is being established in opposition to the wishes of the Church; asking him for a letter to be used by the Rev. Wheaton in his solicitations confirming that the College has the support of the General Seminary.
