Colton introduces Caltanis by letter as a young Greek from the island of Scio whom he has known since his early youth. Caltanis came to America two years ago and has pursued a liberal course of study. He is accredited as a "scholar & a gentleman" by scholars in this country and in Greece. Colton expresses confidence that "the good people of your town" will be interested in the part of his course work that Caltanis plans to present there. This letter may have been written during Colton's time at Kenyon College, located in Gambier.
