Abstract
A letter from Simeon Colton to E.W. Storrs in which Colton writes regarding the sale of liquor. Colton quotes a Massachusetts state law passed on February 12, 1819 regarding the penalties to any owner of an establishment licensed to sell alcohol who provides liquor or allows the stay of any minor. After quoting the act, Colton states that as the guardian of youth in an institution in Amherst, he feels obliged to give formal notice that he will prosecute should any violation of the law involving elements of the Academy (Amherst Academy) come to his attention. A note at the top of the page written in Colton's hand reads, "Copy of a letter sent to the Retailers in Amherst Jany 20, 1831."
