Notes by Edward Hitchcock on two subjects, beginning at opposite ends of the notebook. At the beginning of the notebook are Hitchcock's notes on Olinthus Gregory's text, "Letters to a Friend, on the Evidences, Doctrines, and Duties of the Christian Religion." Hitchcock has written brief statements paraphrasing Gregory's text, divided by chapter/letter. Hitchcock has taken notes on letters 1, 2, 3, and 5, and has written a heading for chapter 4, although Gregory's text contains a total of 22 letters.
