Letters of Leonard Bliss to Elias Nason. Bliss and Nason were classmates at Brown University, where they began literary careers. Bliss published his History of Rehoboth (Massachusetts) in 1836, and for a short time became editor and proprietor of the Boston Republican. He then taught at Stow Academy in Stow, Massachusetts, and was appointed superintendant. He moved to Kentucky in 1837 for his health and was soon appointed Professor of Belles-Lettres and History at the founding of Louisville College. Nason was a writer, schoolteacher, and Congregational minister. The letters refer mainly to Bliss's writing, teaching, and schemes for literary productions.
